Summary:
The 62056 zip code area is home to 5 schools in the Litchfield CUSD 12 district, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in this area demonstrate consistent performance, with the Litchfield Middle School and Litchfield Senior High School standing out as the top performers.
Litchfield Middle School ranks in the top 326 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools and has a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts strong performance on English Language Arts assessments, with 75% of students proficient or better across all grades, and relatively high math proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages. The high school, while ranked lower than the middle school, still performs reasonably well, ranking in the top 359 out of 698 Illinois high schools and maintaining a 3 out of 5 star rating with a solid 89% 4-year graduation rate.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.4% to 25.4% across all schools, and relatively low math proficiency rates compared to English Language Arts. Additionally, the schools have a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. The district may want to consider increasing investment in early childhood education, as the Litchfield Prekindergarten program has the lowest per-student spending at $10,328.
