Summary:
The Joppa-Maple Grove UD 38 district in Illinois serves students from elementary through high school, with one elementary school and one junior and senior high school. While the elementary school, Maple Grove Elementary School, demonstrates relatively strong academic performance, the high school, Joppa Junior & Senior High School, faces challenges in meeting state and district averages.
Maple Grove Elementary School stands out with its high proficiency rates in 4th and 6th grade English Language Arts, solid math proficiency in 3rd, 4th, and 6th grades, and strong 5th grade science proficiency. In contrast, Joppa Junior & Senior High School lags behind the district and state averages in most subject areas, with the exception of 8th grade English Language Arts and science proficiency.
The district as a whole faces socioeconomic challenges, with both schools having high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. While Joppa Junior & Senior High School spends more per student, the district may need to evaluate its resource allocation to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities across all schools and address the chronic absenteeism and academic performance issues at the high school level.
