District-Level NCES Analysis
Peotone Cusd 207u operates 5 public schools serving 1,293 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Illinois. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Will County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,634 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 848 Illinois districts by per-pupil spending. See how Illinois compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 68.2% local, 26.9% state, and 5.0% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 28/100, ranked #599 of 763 in Illinois against a state average of 38, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (7 AP courses district-wide), a 275:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 38.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 79.5% White, 15.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Peotone Elem School, with a diversity index of 39.6/100.
Its largest campus is Peotone High School, enrolling 420 students (33% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Connor Shaw Center, at 79 students, a 5x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Peotone High School accounts for 32.5% of all Peotone Cusd 207u student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Peotone Cusd 207u-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Peotone Cusd 207u school enrollment varies 5.3× across entities
Peotone Cusd 207u school enrollment ranges from 79 students (lowest) to 420 students (highest), a spread of 341 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Peotone Cusd 207u student-counselor ratio is 275:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Peotone Cusd 207u is typically wider than the Peotone Cusd 207u-aggregate figure suggests.
Peotone Cusd 207u chronic absenteeism rate is 38.8% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
