Summary:
The Du Quoin High School is the sole high school serving the Du Quoin CUSD 300 school district in Illinois. The school has a student population of 424 and serves grades 9-12. While the school performs better than the district and state averages in science proficiency, it lags behind in mathematics and English language arts proficiency on the SAT. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate and a slightly lower graduation rate compared to the state average.
The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and higher per-student spending suggest that the school may be serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, which could contribute to the academic challenges the school is facing. To address these issues, the school and district may need to focus on improving attendance, student engagement, and core academic subjects to better prepare students for college and career readiness.
Overall, Du Quoin High School is a relatively average-performing school in Illinois, with some areas of strength and areas that need improvement. By addressing the attendance, academic, and demographic factors, the school and district can work to improve the overall educational outcomes for their students.
