Summary:
The Johnston City High School is the sole high school serving grades 9-12 in the Johnston City CUSD 1 school district in Illinois. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, it faces challenges in areas such as academic performance, attendance, and resource allocation compared to other high schools in the state.
Johnston City High School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state averages in both mathematics and English language arts. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which could be a contributing factor to its lower academic achievement. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively low socioeconomic status, with 57.57% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which can present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
Despite these challenges, the school has a student-teacher ratio of 12.7, which is relatively low, and a per-student spending of $13,393, which is lower than the state average. The school's leadership and community will need to work together to address the identified areas of concern and implement targeted interventions to improve the school's overall performance and outcomes for its students.
