Summary

Norris City-Omaha-Enfield High School is a small, rural high school in southeastern Illinois serving 195 students in grades 9-12, where over half of students come from low socio-economic backgrounds and the school maintains a favorable 10:1 student-to-teacher ratio.

This school presents a fascinating academic paradox: it excels in English Language Arts (ELA) while struggling significantly in mathematics. In the most recent school year, 56.8% of 11th graders scored proficient in ELA on the ACT, outperforming the state average and nearby schools like Carmi-White County High School (45.2%). However, only 25% of 11th graders were proficient in math, well below the state average of 39.3%. This pattern extends to younger students as well, with 9th graders showing a 60.8% proficiency rate in ELA compared to just 15.7% in math. The school's overall ranking has improved from the 34th percentile to the 47th percentile in the last year, yet this improvement masks growing challenges. The performance of special education students has dropped dramatically from the 42nd percentile to the 5th percentile statewide, placing them in the bottom 5% of all Illinois schools.

Chronic absenteeism remains a critical concern at 28.8%, higher than the state average and nearby Gallatin High School (19.9%) and Hamilton County Junior/Senior High School (22.8%). Despite this, the school maintains a competitive 89.7% graduation rate, above the state average and significantly higher than Hamilton County's 75.3%. The school also spends $14,696 per student, above the state average and most nearby schools, yet this investment hasn't translated into broad academic success, particularly in math and for special education students. This suggests that how resources are allocated may matter more than the amount spent, and that the school may be prioritizing graduation over academic proficiency through credit recovery programs.
