Summary

Pinckneyville Community High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Pinckneyville, Illinois, with a student population of 406. The school is part of the Pinckneyville CHSD 101 district, which is ranked 440 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pinckneyville Community High School has consistently ranked in the top half of Illinois high schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 232-420. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to the state average, with stronger results in math but lagging behind in English Language Arts and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 40.9% of 11th graders were proficient or better in ACT Math, compared to the state average of 39.3%, but only 30% were proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.7%. The school's 4-year graduation rate of around 90-97% is on par with or slightly higher than the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.4% to 2.9% is better than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Pinckneyville Community High School generally outperforms in terms of statewide ranking and standardized test scores, particularly in math. However, schools like Nashville Community High School and Steeleville High School perform better in English Language Arts and Science. The school also has a higher percentage of low socioeconomic status students (around 40%) compared to the state average, but it allocates more resources per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than some nearby schools, which may contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance.
