Summary:
The Edinburg Junior High School is the sole middle school located within the Edinburg CUSD 4 school district in Illinois. With a small student population of just 58 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois middle schools over the past three years, indicating persistent academic challenges.
Edinburg Junior High School's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average, with only 22.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 5.3% to 29.4% of students meeting or exceeding standards in Mathematics. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 25.4% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is substantially higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 46.55%, which may contribute to the academic struggles.
Despite the school's small student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1 and per-student spending of $13,954, the data suggests that Edinburg Junior High School requires targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes and address the persistent challenges in academic achievement. Addressing the significant gaps in proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population may be crucial for providing a quality education for the students in this community.
