Peotone High School

Summary:

Peotone High School is a public high school located in Peotone, Illinois, serving around 450 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Peotone CUSD 207U district, which is ranked 365 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Peotone High School's performance has been mixed in recent years. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated between 156 and 422, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied between 2 and 4 stars. While male students and special education students have performed relatively well, female students, Hispanic students, and white students have struggled. The school's four-year graduation rate has improved, but its dropout rate has also increased, and chronic absenteeism has risen significantly, from 8.8% in 2019-2020 to 23.3% in 2023-2024. Peotone High School's test scores in SAT Mathematics, SAT English Language Arts, and ISA Science have consistently been below the state averages.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Lincoln-Way East High School, Bradley-Bourbonnais C High School, Crete-Monee High School, Southland College Prep Charter High School, Grant Park High School, Beecher High School, and Manteno High School, Peotone High School generally performs worse in terms of statewide ranking, test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. The school's leadership and the Peotone CUSD 207U district should closely examine these areas and implement targeted interventions to address the identified issues and improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
