Summary:
Porta CUSD 202 is a school district in Illinois that contains a single high school, Porta High School. The school serves grades 9-12 and has a relatively high graduation rate of 89% for the 2024-2025 school year, though its overall academic performance on standardized tests is below the state average.
Porta High School's test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics lag behind the state averages, with only 39.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and 19.7% in Math for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's performance on the PreACT Secure test for 9th and 10th graders is also below the state average in both subjects. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which may be contributing to its lower academic achievement.

However, the school's socioeconomic factors, with 43.49% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a significant factor in its academic performance. Overall, Porta High School appears to be a relatively average-performing school in Illinois, with opportunities for improvement in areas such as curriculum, instruction, and targeted interventions to support student learning.
