Summary:
The 61326 zip code area is home to two schools - Putnam County High School and Putnam County Primary School, both part of the Putnam County CUSD 535 district. While the schools serve different grade levels, their performance metrics are generally below average when compared to state-level data.
Putnam County High School has 236 students in grades 9-12, with a 89.0% four-year graduation rate and a 2.4% dropout rate. The school's performance on standardized tests is below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 18.2% to 57.6% across different subject areas and grade levels. Putnam County Primary School, with 203 students in grades PK-2, does not have any reported test score data available.
Both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% and relatively high free and reduced lunch rates (38.98% at the high school and 24.14% at the primary school). The Putnam County CUSD 535 district, which the schools are a part of, is ranked 430 out of 811 districts in Illinois and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the district as a whole may be facing systemic challenges that are reflected in the performance of its individual schools.
