Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School

Summary:

Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School is a public middle school serving 145 students in grades 5-8 in Mazon, Illinois, which is part of the Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Education Service District 2C. The school's academic performance has fluctuated over the past decade, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics slightly above the district average but below the state average. However, the school's Science proficiency rate is higher than both the district and state averages.

Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School faces some challenges, including a relatively high percentage of low socioeconomic status students and concerning trends in chronic absenteeism. The school's performance on state assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's rankings for White students and low-SES students in the bottom quartile of Illinois middle schools. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of these underperforming subgroups to improve overall academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Channahon Junior High School, Wilmington Middle School, and Coal City Middle School, Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School's academic performance is generally lower, with these nearby schools also tending to have lower rates of chronic absenteeism and a higher percentage of students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
