Summary:

Urbana School District 116 in Illinois has only one high school, Urbana High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 361 out of 697 Illinois high schools in 2023-2024 to 498 out of 698 in 2024-2025, earning a 2-star rating out of 5.

Urbana High School's academic performance has been below state averages in several key areas. The school's proficiency rates in ACT/ELA, ACT/Math, and ACT/Science were all lower than the state averages, with the largest gap in mathematics (24.1% vs. 39.3%). Similarly, the school's proficiency rates in PreACT Secure assessments for 9th and 10th grades, as well as SAT/Math and SAT/ELA, were significantly below state averages. The school's proficiency rate in the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) for all grades in 2023-2024 was also lower than the state average (39.4% vs. 53.2%).

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $18,909 in 2023-2024, which is above the state average, Urbana High School continues to face challenges. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (67.44% in 2023-2024), and its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025 is significantly higher than the state average. These factors may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance and graduation rate of 89.0%, which is slightly below the state average.
