Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the Grant CCSD 110 district in Illinois: Grant Middle School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and has an enrollment of 235 students.
Grant Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 811 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools in 2023-2024 to 872 out of 1,369 in 2021-2022. The school's performance on standardized tests is below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7% for the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $18,818, which is above the state average, the academic performance of the students remains below par. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes. The school also serves a population with a high percentage (62.13%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing the challenges faced by Grant Middle School will likely require a multi-faceted approach that goes beyond just increasing funding, such as improving attendance, providing targeted academic interventions, and addressing the social and emotional needs of the student population.
