Summary:
Summit School District 104 in Illinois has only one middle school, Heritage Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR), is significantly below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, which is higher than the state average.
Heritage Middle School's IAR proficiency rates are 29.6% in English Language Arts and 17.4% in Mathematics, compared to the district averages of 24.7% and 15.3%, respectively, and the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%. The school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate of 42.4% is also lower than the district and state averages. These low academic performance metrics suggest that the school may be struggling to provide effective instruction and support for its students.
Despite the high spending per student of $21,174 and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 10.7, the school's academic outcomes remain poor. The high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (83.9%) indicates that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may present additional challenges in terms of providing resources and support for student learning. Overall, the analysis of the data for Heritage Middle School suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in academic performance, student engagement, and effective resource allocation, which may require targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for the students.
