Summary

Knoxville Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Knoxville, Illinois, with a total enrollment of 283 students. The school is part of the Knoxville CUSD 202 district, which is ranked 438 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Knoxville Senior High School's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in ACT/English Language Arts (52.1%), ACT/Mathematics (31%), and ACT/Science (29.6%) all lower than the state averages. Compared to nearby schools, the school's performance is mixed, with some areas where it outperforms Spoon River Valley Senior High School and Abingdon-Avon High School, but lags behind Williamsfield High School and R O W V A Junior and Senior High School, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in several subjects.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 89.0% in the 2024-2025 school year is on par with nearby schools, and its dropout rate has been steadily declining, from 4.7% in 2021-2022 to 2.4% in 2024-2025. However, the school faces challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.0% to 41.5% in recent years, and a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 48.41% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. To address these issues, the school and district may need to focus on targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with high-performing nearby schools to identify and implement effective strategies for improving student outcomes.
