Summary:
The Fox Lake GSD 114 district in Illinois is home to a single middle school, Stanton School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, it currently holds a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting it is not among the top-performing middle schools in the state.
Stanton School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is generally below the state averages across all grade levels. The school's ELA proficiency rate was 28.4% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 41.2%, while its Mathematics proficiency rate was 21.3%, compared to the state average of 28.4%. Additionally, the school's Science proficiency rate of 36.7% is lower than the state average of 53.2%. Stanton School also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.5% in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's lower-than-average academic performance, it does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1 and higher-than-average spending per student at $18,686 in 2022-2023. However, these resources have not yet translated into significantly better academic outcomes for the school, which may be influenced by the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population, with 51.72% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.
