High Schools in West Carroll CUSD 314


Summary:

The West Carroll CUSD 314 district in Illinois contains only one high school, West Carroll High School. This school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 322 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2021-2022 to 472 out of 697 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating.

West Carroll High School faces several academic challenges. Its students score significantly below the state averages in SAT Mathematics (7.5% proficient vs. 26.1%), SAT English Language Arts (18.5% proficient vs. 31.1%), and ISA Science (39.2% proficient vs. 53.2%). The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%, which may be contributing to the low test scores and declining performance. Additionally, over 56% of the school's students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's underperformance, it spends $14,235 per student, which is higher than the state average. This suggests that additional funding alone may not be the solution to improving the school's academic outcomes. To address the challenges faced by West Carroll High School, the district may need to focus on improving attendance, providing targeted academic support, and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
