Summary:
The Villa Grove CUSD 302 school district in Illinois has only one middle school, Villa Grove Junior High School. This small school of 111 students has consistently ranked in the lower half of Illinois middle schools over the past three years, with a performance rating of 2 out of 5 stars on the SchoolDigger scale.
While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38.2%) and Mathematics (18.6%) are below the district and state averages, its Science proficiency rate (62.7%) is notably higher. However, the school faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high rate of 46.85% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending of $9,690 is a relevant data point, but without additional context, it is difficult to determine if this level of funding is adequate or if it is being effectively utilized to support student learning.
Overall, the data highlights the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to Villa Grove Junior High School's consistent underperformance, as well as potential strategies to address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population and improve academic outcomes across all subject areas.
