Summary:
The Taylorville Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Taylorville CUSD 3 school district in Illinois. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking declining from 239th out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 356th out of 698 in 2024-2025. This suggests the school's performance may be lagging compared to other high schools in the state.
Taylorville Senior High School's proficiency rates on standardized tests, such as the ACT and PreACT Secure, are consistently lower than the state averages, indicating the school may need to focus on improving academic outcomes for its students. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% for 2024-2025 is significantly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance and may require targeted interventions.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, its academic performance still lags behind the state average. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be influencing the school's outcomes, such as curriculum, teaching quality, or other school-level factors. Overall, the data indicates that Taylorville Senior High School is facing some challenges and may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, attendance policies, and resource allocation to identify areas for improvement and better support student success.
