Summary

Flora High School is a public high school serving 365 students in grades 9-12 in the rural town of Flora, Illinois. The school is part of the Flora CUSD 35 district and has consistently ranked in the middle range of Illinois high schools over the past several years.

Flora High School has shown relatively strong four-year graduation rates, ranging from 78.7% to 89.0% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. The school has also maintained relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 2.4% to 6.2%, placing it in the top half of Illinois high schools for this metric. However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 26.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Flora High School's test scores on the ACT, PreACT Secure, and SAT exams have been mixed compared to state averages, with the school performing better in English Language Arts than in Mathematics and Science. The school also shows some strengths and weaknesses in the performance of different student subgroups, performing relatively well for female students and low socioeconomic status students, but struggling with the performance of white students and disabled students. Compared to the nearby smaller rural high schools, such as Cisne High School and Clay City High School, Flora High School appears to be performing better, potentially due to its higher per-student spending.
