Summary:

The 62278 zip code is home to a single high school, Red Bud High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Red Bud CUSD 132 district. While there are no clear standout schools in this area, an analysis of Red Bud High School's performance and characteristics provides valuable insights.

Red Bud High School has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 273 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 202 out of 698 in 2024-2025, with a 4-star rating. The school's academic performance is mixed, with students performing above the state average in ACT/Mathematics and ACT/Science, but below the state average in ACT/English Language Arts. Similarly, on SAT assessments, the school's 11th-grade students perform below the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.

Despite these areas for improvement, Red Bud High School also has several positive attributes. The school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 14.8 is relatively low, suggesting efficient resource allocation and a focus on personalized attention. Additionally, the school serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with a 32.69% free and reduced-price lunch rate, which may require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of this student population.
