Summary:
The Meredosia-Chambersburg CUSD 11 school district in Illinois consists of three schools: Meredosia-Chambersburg Elementary School, Meredosia-Chambersburg High School, and Meredosia-Chambersburg Junior High. The data shows that the schools in this district are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across multiple metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
None of the schools in the Meredosia-Chambersburg CUSD 11 district appear to be standouts, as they all struggle with very low proficiency rates on state assessments. The elementary and middle schools have 0% proficiency in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams, far below the state averages of 30-50%. The high school's performance on the SAT is also concerning, with 0% proficiency in both Mathematics and English Language Arts, compared to state averages around 26-32%.
The district as a whole faces significant challenges, with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 30.5% at the elementary school to 58.8% at the high school, compared to state averages around 15-20%. Additionally, the high school has a low four-year graduation rate of 73.7% and a high dropout rate of 9.3%, both of which are much worse than state averages. These issues are likely exacerbated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which ranges from 70.83% at the high school to 80.43% at the middle school, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the district.
