Summary:
The Roxana CUSD 1 district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with consistently low test scores and high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism across its schools.
Roxana Senior High School stands out as the largest school in the district with 501 students, and it has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%. However, its test scores are well below the state averages, with only 39.1% of 11th graders proficient or better in ELA and 33% in Math on the ACT. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%. In contrast, South Primary School has the highest percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients at 64.84%, indicating a high-need student population, and it has a low statewide ranking with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data suggests that the Roxana CUSD 1 district as a whole is struggling academically, with test scores well below the state averages at all grade levels and across all schools. This, coupled with the high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, points to significant challenges that the district will need to address to improve educational outcomes for all students.
