Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the Beach Park CCSD 3 district in Illinois: Beach Park Middle School. This school serves grades 6-8 and has struggled academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly below the state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 975 and 1,153 out of 1,363 to 1,369 Illinois middle schools over the past three school years, and it is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Beach Park Middle School's academic performance is a major concern, with only 28.6% of students proficient or better in ELA and just 7.4% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's 8th grade Science proficiency rate of 28.2% is also much lower than the state average of 53.2%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.1%, which can negatively impact student learning and outcomes.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.8 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,095, the resources do not appear to be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population, which is predominantly low-income, with 57.26% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The combination of academic underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges suggests that the Beach Park CCSD 3 district and Beach Park Middle School may require significant interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for their students.
