Summary

Belvidere North High School is a public high school serving 1,408 students in grades 9-12 in Belvidere, Illinois. The school is part of the Belvidere CUSD 100 district, which is ranked 645 out of 811 districts in the state.

Belvidere North High School consistently outperforms its district on academic measures, such as standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, 47.3% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, compared to the district average of 39.4% and the state average of 51.7%. The school also has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.7% to 92.6% in recent years, which is comparable to the district and state averages. However, Belvidere North High School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 22.2% to 31.2%, compared to nearby schools like Harlem High School and North Boone High School.

The school's performance for economically disadvantaged students is an area of concern, as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 30.68% in 2021-2022 to 44.89% in 2023-2024. While Belvidere North High School outperforms its in-district counterpart, Belvidere High School, it lags behind some nearby schools in certain areas like ACT/SAT proficiency. Overall, Belvidere North High School appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district, but the high chronic absenteeism rate and the growing population of economically disadvantaged students require further attention and targeted interventions.
