Summary:
Community Unit School District No 196 in Illinois contains only one high school, Dupo High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school faces significant challenges, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and academic performance well below state averages.
Dupo High School's four-year graduation rate of 85.5% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.0% is higher than the state average. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 37.7% compared to the state average. Academically, Dupo High School's proficiency rates in SAT Mathematics (8.9%), SAT English Language Arts (16.1%), and ISA Science (35.6%) are all significantly lower than the state averages.
Despite the district's higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,602, the school's academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to address the specific needs of the student population, which has a high percentage (58.8%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve educational outcomes for its students.
