Summary:
The Tuscola CUSD 301 district in Illinois consists of 3 schools: North Ward Elementary School, Tuscola High School, and East Prairie Middle School. The district serves students from elementary through high school grades.
East Prairie Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 394 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools and earning a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excelled in English Language Arts and Science proficiency, outperforming the district and state averages. Tuscola High School also performed well, ranking 323 out of 698 Illinois high schools and maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate of 89%.
However, the district faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, exceeding the state average. Additionally, while the schools performed well in English Language Arts, their Mathematics proficiency rates were lower, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels. The district may also need to provide additional support and resources to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary and middle school levels.
