Summary

Lowpoint-Washburn Junior Senior High School is a public high school in Washburn, Illinois, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 158 students. The school is part of the Lowpoint-Washburn CUSD 21 district, which is ranked 603 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the years, Lowpoint-Washburn Junior Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 205 out of 670 Illinois high schools in 2013-2014 (3-star rating) to 449 out of 698 in 2024-2025 (2-star rating). This downward trend suggests the school is underperforming compared to other high schools in the state. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in various subjects and assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in IAR/English Language Arts (40%) and IAR/Mathematics (22.2%) were significantly below the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively.

Interestingly, nearby high schools, such as Eureka High School and Metamora High School, generally outperform Lowpoint-Washburn Junior Senior High School in terms of statewide rankings, graduation rates, and academic proficiency. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, which has increased significantly at Lowpoint-Washburn Junior Senior High School, may be contributing to the school's underperformance. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's socioeconomic factors and targeted interventions to support student success.
