Middle Schools in Maywood-Melrose Park-Broadview 89

The Maywood-Melrose Park-Broadview 89 school district in Illinois is home to two middle schools: Stevenson Middle School and Irving Middle School. Both schools are performing significantly below the state average on various academic measures, with no clear standout schools in the district.

According to the data, Stevenson Middle School ranked 882 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating, while Irving Middle School ranked 1,098 out of 1,363, with a 1-star rating. Both schools perform significantly below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with Stevenson Middle School having 32.5% proficiency in ELA and 13.1% in Math, and Irving Middle School having even lower proficiency rates of 22.5% in ELA and 7.2% in Math.

The high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at Irving Middle School with 39.9%, are concerning and may be contributing to the low academic performance. Additionally, both schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with over 60% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The relatively high per-student spending at both schools suggests that the Maywood-Melrose Park-Broadview 89 district is allocating significant resources, but the low academic performance indicates that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the students.
