Summary:
The North Mac CUSD 34 school district in Illinois has only one middle school, North Mac Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, it is ranked 844 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, North Mac Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (35.3%) and Mathematics (13.7%) are significantly below the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. However, the school's science proficiency rate of 43.2% is slightly above the state average of 53.2%. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 53.85%, and its chronic absenteeism rate is 22.1%, which could be contributing factors to the lower academic performance.
Despite these challenges, North Mac Middle School appears to be allocating resources to support its students, with a higher per-student spending of $15,481 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.8 compared to state averages. While these resources have not yet translated into higher academic achievement, the district may be working to address the school's needs and improve student outcomes over time.
