Summary:
The 62056 zip code area is home to a single high school, Litchfield Senior High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Litchfield CUSD 12 school district. While the school has a student enrollment of 393, its academic performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 340 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 359 out of 698 in 2024-2025, earning a 2-star rating in the most recent year.
Litchfield Senior High School's four-year graduation rate is 89.0%, and its dropout rate is 2.4% for the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school faces challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in ACT/ELA, ACT/Math, and ACT/Science are below the state averages, at 40.6%, 30.7%, and 44.6%, respectively, compared to state averages of 51.7%, 39.3%, and 48.7%.
Despite spending more per student ($15,977) than the state average, the school's academic performance remains below par. This, coupled with the high percentage of students (51.4%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that the school may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting its educational outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.2 is slightly lower than the state average, but this alone does not seem to be translating into significantly better academic results for the students.
