Summary:
Skokie School District 68 in Illinois has one middle school, Old Orchard Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 484th out of 1,369 Illinois middle schools in 2021-2022 to 596th out of 1,363 in 2023-2024.
Academically, Old Orchard Junior High School's proficiency rates on standardized tests are mixed compared to district and state averages. In English Language Arts, the school's scores are below the state average but slightly above the Skokie School District 68 average. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are below both the district and state averages. However, in Science, the school's scores are above the state average, though still below the district average.
The school serves a relatively high percentage of students (52.76%) who receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status. Despite this, the school's per-student spending of $17,372 is higher than the national average, and the student-teacher ratio of 11.1 is relatively low, suggesting a favorable learning environment. However, these metrics alone do not guarantee academic success, and the school's performance should be further analyzed to understand how these resources are being utilized and their impact on student outcomes.
