Summary:
The Spoon River Valley Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Spoon River Valley CUSD 4 school district in Illinois. With a total enrollment of 73 students, the school faces some academic challenges, including significantly lower proficiency rates on the SAT Mathematics and English Language Arts exams compared to the state averages. However, the school's performance on the ISA Science End of Course exam is a bright spot, with a proficiency rate higher than the state average.
The school's four-year graduation rate is 88.2%, and its dropout rate is 5.3%. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate is relatively high at 20.9%, the district is allocating significant resources to support the school, with a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 7.7 and a per-student spending of $21,093. The school's socioeconomic factors, with 31.51% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the academic challenges it faces.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 334 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 549 out of 697 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star and 1-star rating, respectively. This variability in performance suggests the need for further investigation into the root causes of the school's challenges and the strategies employed to address them, in order to support the academic success of its students.
