Summary:
Pontiac Township HSD 90 is a school district in Illinois that contains a single high school, Pontiac High School. The school serves students in grades 9-12 and has a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, despite fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past three school years.
Pontiac High School's academic performance is mixed, with some areas of strength, such as a higher-than-average proficiency rate in ISA/Science, but lower proficiency rates in other subjects like PreACT Secure and SAT. The school's four-year graduation rate is 89.0%, which is above the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is significantly higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern. The school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 52.36% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the challenges, Pontiac High School's higher per-student spending of $18,367, compared to the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 14.5, which is slightly lower than the state average, suggest a commitment to providing quality education. However, the school's mixed academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rate may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.
