Summary

Hoopeston Area High School is a public high school in Hoopeston, Illinois, serving 330 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Hoopeston Area CUSD 11 district, which is ranked 711 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Hoopeston Area High School consistently performs below the state average on standardized tests, with only 29.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, 15.4% in ACT Mathematics, and 29.5% in ACT Science. This is significantly lower than the state averages of 51.7%, 39.3%, and 48.7%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 87.7% and 93.9% in recent years, while its dropout rate has remained relatively high, ranging from 2.4% to 3.4%. Additionally, Hoopeston Area High School has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.4% to 35.8% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and students with disabilities performing better than their peers in some academic areas. However, the nearby schools, such as Armstrong High School and Cissna Park Senior High School, generally outperform Hoopeston Area High School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and graduation rates. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $14,263 to $19,197 in recent years, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 305 out of 614 Illinois high schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 543 out of 698 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend in the school's overall performance.
