Summary:
Jasper County CUD 1 in Illinois is home to a single middle school, Jasper County Junior High, which serves grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 192 students. While the school has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past three years, it continues to face academic challenges, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, where proficiency rates fall below the state average. However, the school shows strength in Science, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average.
Jasper County Junior High's declining performance is reflected in its statewide rank, which has dropped from 389 out of 1,369 Illinois middle schools in 2021-2022 to 757 out of 1,363 in 2023-2024. Similarly, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars out of 5 to 2 stars out of 5 during this period. These trends suggest the school may be struggling to maintain its academic standards compared to other middle schools in the state.
The school's academic challenges are further highlighted by its proficiency rates in core subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, Jasper County Junior High's ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates were significantly below the state average, while its Science proficiency rates were higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. Despite these challenges, the school's strengths in Science suggest potential areas for improvement and growth.
