Annual financial profiles rank Illinois school districts' financial health

Elm 04

Carbondale Community High School District 165 was among the 695 Illinois school districts that achieved "financial recognition" by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) for its 2018 finances.

The designation means the district scored highest in financial strength metrics.

ISBE started profiling the financial health of the state's school districts in 2003, using experts to evaluate five areas: fund-balance-to-revenue ratio, expenditure-to-revenue ratio, days cash on hand, percentage of short-term borrowing ability remaining, and percentage of long-term borrowing ability remaining. The results are combined into a score, which corresponds with one of four designations.

Districts that score between 1 and 2.61 are on "financial watch"; between 2.62 and 3.07 - "financial warning"; between 3.08 and 3.53 - "financial review" and between 3.54 and 4.00 - "financial recognition".
