Summary:
The Bushnell Prairie City CUSD 170 district in Illinois contains a single middle school, Bushnell-Prairie City Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance is concerning, as it ranks 979 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools and has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Bushnell-Prairie City Junior High School's academic performance is well below the state average, with only 25.2% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 10.9% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.5% and a significant proportion of students (64.71%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning.
While the school's spending per student of $15,453 is higher than the state average, it's unclear if these resources are being effectively utilized to support student learning and improve outcomes. The data suggests that targeted interventions and support could help address the identified challenges and unlock the school's potential for improvement, as evidenced by its 2-star ratings in the previous two years.
