Summary:
The Southeastern CUSD 337 district in Illinois serves students from two schools - Southeastern Elementary School and Southeastern Junior/Senior High School. While the high school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, the elementary school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools. Both schools face challenges with academic performance, high chronic absenteeism rates, and socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student learning and engagement.
Southeastern Junior/Senior High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate and low dropout rate, but its performance on standardized tests is mixed, with stronger results in ELA than Math. In contrast, Southeastern Elementary School lags behind state averages in both ELA and Math proficiency, with the largest gaps in 6th grade Math and 4th grade Math.
Both schools have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and the chronic absenteeism rate is a concern at 25.4% for both schools. The district may need to re-evaluate resource allocation to ensure equitable distribution across the schools and address the socioeconomic challenges that are impacting student outcomes.
