Summary:
The 61427 zip code area in Illinois is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the CUSD 3 Fulton County school district. While the schools show a mix of strong and underperforming results, Cuba Senior High School and Cuba Elementary School stand out as the top performers in the area.
Cuba Senior High School has demonstrated strong academic performance, ranking 316 out of 698 Illinois high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. In terms of test scores, the high school outperforms the district and state averages in several areas, including ACT English Language Arts and PreACT Secure English Language Arts. In contrast, Cuba Middle School lags behind, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages.
One area of concern across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% for the 2024-2025 school year, which may be a contributing factor to the overall academic performance. Additionally, the differences in free and reduced lunch rates between the elementary/middle schools and the high school could also be a factor, as socioeconomic status can impact educational outcomes. The data suggests that Cuba Middle School could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student achievement and close the performance gap with the other schools in the district.
