Summary:
Wabash CUSD 348 in Illinois is home to a single high school, Mount Carmel High School, which serves 448 students in grades 9-12. While the school has some areas of strength, such as its ACT/Science proficiency, it faces challenges in improving its overall academic outcomes, particularly in ELA and Math, where proficiency rates fall below the state averages.
Mount Carmel High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%, slightly below the state average, and a dropout rate of 2.4%, which is lower than the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. With a free/reduced lunch rate of 43.08%, the school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which could impact its ability to improve student outcomes.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $14,749 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.8, which is slightly lower than the state average, Mount Carmel High School's overall academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in ACT, PreACT Secure, SAT, and ISA assessments, suggests there is room for improvement. Addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and focusing on strengthening its ELA and Math instruction may be key priorities for the school as it works to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for its students.
