Summary:
The 61482 zip code is home to a single high school, V I T Senior High School, which serves a relatively small student population of 83 students. While the school has a slightly above-average 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%, it faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Academically, V I T Senior High School's performance is mixed, with students performing slightly better than the state average in English Language Arts but lagging behind in Mathematics and Science. The school's student-teacher ratio of 6.5 is low, suggesting a focus on personalized attention, but this may also limit the range of educational and extracurricular offerings available to students. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with nearly 47% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be investing resources in areas such as small class sizes and specialized programs, as evidenced by the higher-than-average spending of $23,180 per student. By addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and targeting interventions to improve student performance in Mathematics and Science, the school can work to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for the students in this community served by V I T Cusd 2.
