Summary:
Burbank School District 111 in Illinois has only one middle school, Liberty Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The data analysis suggests that Liberty Junior High School is a struggling school within the district, with consistently below-average academic performance on standardized tests compared to both the district and state averages.
Liberty Junior High School had a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.4% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. The school's performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) was significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 30.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 18.5% proficient or better in Mathematics. Additionally, the school had a high percentage of students (66.3%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Despite the school's below-average performance, Liberty Junior High School had a relatively high per-student spending of $14,185 in the 2022-2023 school year, which raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the school. The student-teacher ratio of 16.9 was within a reasonable range, suggesting that class sizes are not an immediate concern. However, further investigation into the school's instructional practices, support systems, and resource allocation may be necessary to address the school's performance issues and provide a high-quality education for its students.
