PALESTINE HIGH SCHOOL

Palestine High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Palestine CUSD 3 school district, located in Palestine, IL with about 90 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, Palestine High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Palestine High School, located at 102 N Main St in Palestine, Illinois, serves as a central educational institution for the local Crawford County community. As part of the Palestine Community Unit School District #3, the school focuses on providing a foundational secondary education in a small-town environment. The facility is situated in the heart of Palestine, reflecting the district’s commitment to maintaining a close-knit connection between the school and the residents of the village.

While the school maintains a relatively modest enrollment size characteristic of rural Illinois districts, it offers a standard comprehensive curriculum designed to prepare students for post-secondary education and the workforce. The school community places a significant emphasis on extracurricular involvement and school spirit, which are often integral to the student experience in smaller districts. By leveraging its size, Palestine High School aims to offer a personalized learning atmosphere where students can benefit from more direct teacher-to-student interaction and a supportive academic environment.
