Summary

Indian Creek High School is a public high school located in Shabbona, Illinois, serving 261 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Indian Creek CUSD 425 district, which is ranked 379 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Indian Creek High School has shown a mixed performance in academic test scores compared to the state averages. While the school performs better than the state in some areas, such as 9th grade PreACT Secure English Language Arts and 10th grade PreACT Secure Science, it lags behind in other areas like 11th grade ACT Mathematics and 11th grade SAT Mathematics. The school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.7% to 98.4% in recent years, which is comparable to or better than the nearby Sandwich Community High School and Somonauk High School. However, the school's dropout rate, while declining, is still higher than the state average.

One area of concern for Indian Creek High School is its high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 12.4% to 26.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with strong performance for its special education and disabled student populations, but struggles with its White student population. Overall, Indian Creek High School's performance is generally in the middle to lower range compared to nearby high schools, which may be influenced by its relatively lower funding and resources, spending between $15,459 and $17,273 per student.
