Summary:
Rock Island School District 41 in Illinois has only one high school, Rock Island High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has consistently fallen below state averages across various metrics, including graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism.
Rock Island High School had a 89.0% four-year graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year, slightly lower than the state average. The school also had a higher-than-average dropout rate of 2.4% and a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% during the same year. Academically, the school's test scores were consistently lower than the state averages, with only 27.9% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, 17.1% in ACT/Mathematics, and 26.8% in ACT/Science, compared to state averages of 51.7%, 39.3%, and 48.7%, respectively.
The school's high poverty levels, as indicated by the 56.93% free and reduced lunch rate for the 2023-2024 school year, may contribute to its lower performance. Additionally, the school district's spending of $15,161 per student, which is higher than the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 17.8, slightly above the state average, suggest that the district may not be effectively allocating its resources to address the needs of its students. Overall, the data indicates that Rock Island School District 41 and Rock Island High School face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students.
