Summary:
The 62551 zip code is home to a single public high school, Sangamon Valley High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Sangamon Valley CUSD 9 district. The school has a total enrollment of 194 students and faces some academic challenges, with test scores generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science.
Sangamon Valley High School's four-year graduation rate is 89.0%, and its dropout rate is 2.4%. However, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school has a significant socioeconomic challenge, with 59.79% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1, which could suggest smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. The school also spends $15,001 per student, which is higher than the state average, but it is unclear how these funds are being allocated and whether they are effectively supporting student learning and achievement.
