Summary:
The city of Milledgeville, Illinois is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through junior high: Chadwick-Milledgeville Elementary School and Chadwick-Milledgeville Junior High School. Both schools are part of the Chadwick-Milledgeville CUSD 399 district, which is ranked 224 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating.
Chadwick-Milledgeville Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools and outperforming the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. The school has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.5%. In contrast, Chadwick-Milledgeville Junior High School is also a strong performer, ranking in the top 40% of Illinois high schools and boasting an impressive 96.7% 4-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average.
While both schools demonstrate academic excellence, there are some areas for potential improvement. The Junior High school lags behind the state in Mathematics proficiency, particularly in 11th grade SAT scores. Additionally, both schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 40-45%, suggesting a need to address socioeconomic factors that may impact student learning and achievement. The difference in spending per student between the Elementary and Junior High schools ($12,500 vs. $15,575) may also be an area to explore, as it could indicate different resource allocation or funding priorities between the two schools.
