Summary:
Wenona, Illinois is home to a single public middle school, Fieldcrest Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 195 students. The school is part of the Fieldcrest CUSD 6 district, which is ranked 565 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Fieldcrest Middle School's academic performance is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. In the 2023-2024 school year, 52.9% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 36.2% for the district and 41.2% for the state. However, the school's mathematics proficiency rate of 32.6% was lower than the state average of 28.4%. The school's science proficiency rate of 61.8% was higher than both the district and state averages.
Despite the school's academic strengths, it faces some challenges. Fieldcrest Middle School had a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.2% in the 2023-2024 school year, and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 55.9%. The school's per-student spending of $15,425 is higher than the state average, which may be an effort to provide additional resources and support for these students. Overall, Fieldcrest Middle School appears to be a school with both strengths and areas for improvement, and the district may need to focus on addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and ensuring consistent academic performance across all grade levels.
