Summary

Moline Senior High School is a public high school serving 2,206 students in grades 9-12 in Moline, Illinois, which is part of the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district. While the school offers a range of educational opportunities, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 36.8% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.7%, and only 27.7% were proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 39.3%.

Moline Senior High School also faces challenges with its graduation and dropout rates. The school's four-year graduation rate has been around 87-89% in recent years, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate has been between 2.2-2.9%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.4% to 34.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. These factors may be influenced by the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50-54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Geneseo High School, Rockridge High School, Riverdale Senior High School, and Orion High School, Moline Senior High School's academic performance and other key metrics are generally lower. These nearby schools have higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the challenges faced by Moline Senior High School will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, increased support for students, and a focus on improving the overall educational environment.
