Summary:
The city of Ingleside, Illinois is home to 5 schools serving elementary and middle school students, across two different school districts - Big Hollow School District 38 and Gavin School District 37. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and student outcomes between the schools, with Big Hollow Middle School and Gavin South Middle School standing out as the top-performing schools in the area.
Big Hollow Middle School ranks among the top 467 middle schools in Illinois and boasts the highest test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all the Ingleside schools. In contrast, Gavin Central Elementary School struggles with the lowest proficiency rates, with only 15% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 17.3% in Mathematics. The data suggests a correlation between higher free and reduced lunch rates, which can indicate lower socioeconomic status, and lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
The analysis also highlights the importance of the middle school years, as the two middle schools in the data set demonstrate stronger academic performance compared to the elementary schools. This suggests that targeted interventions and resources during the middle school years may be crucial for ensuring all students in Ingleside have access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to succeed.
