Logan Junior High School

Summary:

Logan Junior High School is a public middle school located in Princeton, Illinois, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 424 students. The school is part of the Princeton Education Service District 115. While the school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, it has faced several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and lower-than-average academic performance.

Logan Junior High School's chronic absenteeism rates have seen a significant increase, rising from 13.3% in 2019-2020 to 34.8% in 2020-2021, which is notably higher than the state average. This high chronic absenteeism rate coincides with a decline in academic performance across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency rates have consistently been lower than the state average, while science proficiency rates are closer to the state average. Subgroup performance also varies, with female students generally outperforming male students, and white students and students with disabilities having the lowest proficiency rates.

When compared to nearby schools, Lincoln Junior High School has significantly lower academic performance, while Bradford Junior High School and Parkside Middle School consistently outperform Logan Junior High School and the state average in both ELA and mathematics proficiency. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Logan Junior High School may also be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic achievement.

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.
