Summary:
The Blue Ridge CUSD 18 district in Illinois has only one middle school, Blue Ridge Intermediate-Junior High School. This school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking in recent years, going from 787 out of 1,369 Illinois middle schools in 2021-2022 to 643 out of 1,367 in 2022-2023, and 587 out of 1,363 in 2023-2024.
While the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to Mathematics, it does have a relatively strong Science proficiency rate of 59.2%, which is above the state average of 53.2%. The school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $15,002, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, suggesting a focus on individualized attention and support for its students.
However, the school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 47.62% in 2022-2023, which may indicate that it serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school improve its academic outcomes, particularly in Mathematics, and maintain a consistent level of performance.
