Summary:
The Tri City CUSD 1 school district in Illinois has only one high school, Tri-City High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance is mixed, with some areas of strength but also significant challenges that the school and district will need to address.
Tri-City High School has a total enrollment of 170 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.1, which is slightly lower than the state average. However, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 36.47%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's performance on standardized tests is variable, with stronger results in science but weaker performance in mathematics and English language arts compared to state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 81.3% is also lower than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 27.2% is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $12,946, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance still lags in some areas. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and the school and district may need to examine how resources are being utilized and allocated to support student learning more effectively. Addressing the factors contributing to the high chronic absenteeism rate should also be a priority for the school and district to improve overall student outcomes.
