Summary:
Durand CUSD 322 is a small school district in Illinois that serves only one high school, Durand High School. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, its overall performance has been declining in recent years. Durand High School is currently ranked 538 out of 697 Illinois high schools, down from 363 out of 699 just a few years ago, and is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
The school's graduation rate of 85.5% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 3.6% is slightly higher. Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, with 20.3% of students missing a significant amount of school, much higher than the state average. Academically, Durand High School struggles, with only 7.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics and 9.7% proficient or better in SAT English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 26.1% and 31.1%, respectively.
Despite the higher per-student spending, Durand High School's performance issues suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources and focus on improving its academic programs and support for students. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate may also be a key priority for the school in order to improve overall student outcomes and performance.
