Summary

Bunker Hill High School is a public high school located in Bunker Hill, Illinois, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 208 students. The school is part of the Bunker Hill CUSD 8 district, which is ranked 556 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bunker Hill High School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 197 out of 697 Illinois high schools (4-star rating) in 2023-2024 to 512 out of 699 (1-star rating) in 2022-2023. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students ranking 137 out of 668 Illinois high schools (4-star rating) in 2023-2024, while white students ranked 525 out of 557 (0-star rating) in the same year. Additionally, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.7% to 91.3% in recent years, but its dropout rate has also been higher than the state average, ranging from 2.4% to 3.4%.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Civic Memorial High School, Mt. Olive High School, and Staunton High School, Bunker Hill High School generally performs below the average, with lower proficiency rates in ACT English Language Arts, ACT Mathematics, and ACT Science. The school's high rate of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 13.8% to 26.3% in recent years, may also contribute to its academic challenges. To improve student outcomes, the school and district should focus on addressing these key areas of concern.
