Summary:
The Hartsburg-Emden Junior-Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Hartsburg Emden CUSD 21 school district in Illinois. With just 97 students, it is a relatively small school that has struggled to maintain consistent academic performance across subject areas.
While the school performs relatively well in science, with proficiency rates above the state average, it faces significant challenges in math, particularly at the 6th-grade level, where proficiency is less than a third of the state average. The school's overall statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, dropping from 55th out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 353rd out of 697 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be facing broader challenges in maintaining its performance compared to other schools in the state.
Despite its small size, the school's spending per student is significantly higher than the state average, at $18,028 compared to $14,349. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation, particularly given its inconsistent academic performance. Overall, the data indicates that Hartsburg-Emden Junior-Senior High School is an underperforming school in the state of Illinois, with significant room for improvement in key academic areas.
