Summary:
Gavin School District 37 is home to a single middle school, Gavin South Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance data suggests it is facing challenges in academic achievement, attendance, and socioeconomic factors compared to state averages.
Gavin South Middle School's standardized test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 24.6% to 41.7% in ELA and 8.2% to 24.3% in Mathematics across all grades. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 18.4% compared to the state average. Additionally, a high percentage of students (59.6%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the low academic performance, Gavin South Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, which could be an opportunity to provide more individualized attention and support for students. To improve the school's performance, the district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the areas of concern, such as low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
