Summary:
The Hoover-Schrum Memorial School District 157 in Illinois has only one middle school, Schrum Memorial School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The data reveals that this school is consistently underperforming compared to other middle schools across the state.
Schrum Memorial School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (28.7%), Math (6%), and Science (34.4%) are significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 70.76% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 and the district's higher-than-average spending per student of $23,076, Schrum Memorial School continues to struggle to provide a quality education to its students. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the underlying issues contributing to the low academic performance and achievement gaps observed among its student population.
