Summary:
The city of Streamwood, Illinois is home to two middle schools: Tefft Middle School and Canton Middle School. Both schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the School District U-46. However, the data suggests these middle schools are facing challenges in providing quality education and achieving strong academic outcomes for their students.
While there are no clear standout schools, the data reveals some key differences between the two institutions. Tefft Middle School has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (69.73%) compared to Canton Middle School (55.47%), while Canton has a larger proportion of White (23.72%) and Asian (10.77%) students. Academically, both schools perform significantly below state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, with Tefft Middle School lagging behind Canton Middle School in these areas.
Additionally, Tefft Middle School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (42.1%) compared to Canton Middle School (33.1%), which may be contributing to the performance gaps. The differences in per-student spending ($19,452 at Canton vs. $15,374 at Tefft) and student-teacher ratios (18:1 at Canton vs. 12.4:1 at Tefft) suggest that resource allocation and distribution within the district may also be a factor in the observed academic outcomes.
