Both my sons went to Rantoul Township High School.The counselors seemed only to be interested in those students who wished to attend college.If a student was not interested they received no help to steer them to other avenues of study or employment after high school.I personally met with my son's 'counselor' and saw this first hand.The school's student body is rowdy and boisterous.Students seem to come to school in the morning not to learn but to socialize and take out grudges against others.Parent-Teacher conferences were worthless because by the time we learned of our student's weakness it was too late to influence his turn around for a higher grade or to help learn what was not learned when the curriculum moved on to a different level.The graduation rate of African-American students is pitiful. Out of 199 black students 13% do not graduate high school.I was assigned to this school in an official capacity for 12 years and was at the school at least 3 times a week.Based on the current State test scores, no significant changes have been made, to date.Almost 100 pupils of the entire student body do not graduate!
