Summary:
The Valmeyer CUSD 3 district in Illinois consists of three schools: Valmeyer Elementary School, Valmeyer High School, and Valmeyer Junior High. The data reveals a mixed picture, with Valmeyer High School standing out as the highest-performing school in the district, while the elementary school also shows strengths in 3rd-grade test scores.
Valmeyer High School is the standout performer, ranking 202 out of 697 Illinois high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. Additionally, Valmeyer High School outperforms the state average in ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science for 11th-grade students. In contrast, Valmeyer Elementary School stands out for its strong 3rd-grade performance, outpacing both the district and state averages in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, with all three schools reporting high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%. Additionally, the schools' test scores generally underperform the state averages, suggesting potential areas for improvement. The small school sizes, ranging from 82 to 159 students, may present both challenges and opportunities in terms of resource allocation and personalized attention.
