Summary:
Canton Union School District 66 in Illinois has only one middle school, Ingersoll Middle School. The school serves students in grades 6-8 and faces a combination of academic, socioeconomic, and attendance-related challenges. While the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with stronger results in 8th-grade English Language Arts and Science, its lower-grade performance in ELA and Mathematics is significantly below state averages.
Ingersoll Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students (53.02%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending is $12,528, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes, which may warrant further investigation into the effectiveness of the school's resource utilization and instructional practices.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year is 29.8%, which is relatively high. Addressing attendance issues should be a priority for the school and Canton Union School District 66. Overall, Ingersoll Middle School faces a combination of challenges that require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improvement in order to provide a more equitable and effective educational experience for its students.
