About Quest Charter School Academy

Peoria, Illinois is home to Quest Charter School Academy, a public charter high school. It is one of five high schools in Peoria School District 150 and teaches grades 9 through 12. The school has about 400 students and a student-to-teacher ratio of about 12:1, which makes for a more personalized and supportive learning environment. The student body is very diverse; 90% of the students are from minority groups. This gives you an idea of what the culture is like in the area. Quest Charter School Academy is all about giving each student the help they need to learn in the way that works best for them. The main goals of academic programs are to help students get back on track with their credits, master the core curriculum, and get ready for college or other paths after high school. The school helps students learn basic academic skills, but it doesn't give out math and reading/ELA scores for the 2025–2026 school year. Students can take standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, but only if they are ready. Public money pays for classes, student services, and things to do outside of school.
