Summary:
The city of Goreville, Illinois is home to two schools - Goreville Elementary School and Goreville High School, both part of the Goreville CUD 1 district. While the elementary school has some pockets of stronger academic performance, the high school faces more significant challenges, particularly in standardized test scores.
Goreville Elementary School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.0%, which may be contributing to its below-average test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics across most grade levels. The school also has a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 38.5%. In contrast, Goreville High School boasts an impressive 93.6% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.7% dropout rate, but its 11th-grade proficiency rates in SAT Mathematics (12.5%) and English Language Arts (21.9%) are significantly lower than the state averages.
The data analysis suggests that addressing attendance issues, targeting interventions to improve test scores, and considering the impact of socioeconomic factors could be important steps in enhancing the educational outcomes for students in this district. While the schools in Goreville have their strengths and weaknesses, the data highlights the need for a closer examination of the challenges facing the high school and the development of strategies to support student success at all grade levels.
