Summary:
The 62468 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Cumberland CUSD 77 district. While the district as a whole is ranked 466 out of 811 in Illinois and rated 2 stars, some standout schools emerge, including Cumberland High School, which ranks 261 out of 698 Illinois high schools and earns a 3-star rating, and Cumberland Elementary School, which outperforms the district and state averages in several academic areas.
Cumberland High School boasts a strong 89.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.4% dropout rate, along with solid performance on standardized tests, with 52.6% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT English, 50% in ACT Math, and 80.3% in ACT Science. In contrast, Cumberland Middle School lags behind the district and state in both ELA and math proficiency, with only 23.6% of all grades proficient or better in IAR Math.
Across the district, student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 12.9 at Cumberland Elementary School to 14.6 at Cumberland Middle School. However, all three schools report a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average and may be an area for improvement. The district-level challenges suggest the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of strategies to improve overall educational outcomes.
