Summary:
The Kinnikinnick CCSD 131 district in Illinois consists of 4 schools - 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the elementary schools perform reasonably well, the standout school in the district is Roscoe Middle School, which ranks in the top 12% of Illinois middle schools and significantly outperforms state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.
Roscoe Middle School boasts a 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger and had proficiency rates of 69% in ELA and 44.5% in Math, compared to district averages of 59.5% and 45.1% respectively. The school's 8th grade students performed especially well, with 77% proficient in ELA and 51.7% in Math, well above state levels. In contrast, the elementary schools in the district, while maintaining 4-star ratings, do not reach the same level of academic excellence as the middle school.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates range from 15-20%, which could be an area for improvement. Spending per student and student-teacher ratios are relatively consistent, suggesting the district allocates resources evenly. However, the significant performance gap between the middle school and elementary schools indicates there may be opportunities to further optimize instructional strategies and resource allocation to drive stronger results at the elementary level and ensure a more consistent level of excellence throughout the district.
