Summary:
Johnsburg CUSD 12 is a small school district in Illinois that contains only one middle school, Johnsburg Junior High School. This middle school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 435th out of 1,369 Illinois middle schools in 2021-2022 to 707th out of 1,363 in 2023-2024. While the school's performance in English Language Arts and Science is close to or above state and district averages, its Mathematics proficiency rates are significantly below both the district and state averages.
Johnsburg Junior High School has a student population of 344 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7. However, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 33.72% indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending of $17,842 is higher than the state average, suggesting that the district is allocating significant resources to the school, though the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes.
Overall, the analysis of the Johnsburg Junior High School data highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the school's performance and the implementation of targeted strategies to address areas of concern, such as the declining statewide ranking and the uneven academic performance across subject areas. The school's demographics and resource allocation suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's academic outcomes, and further investigation is warranted to identify and address the underlying issues.
