Summary:
The Mulberry Grove CUSD 1 district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 12th grade across three schools: Mulberry Grove Elementary School, Mulberry Grove Senior High School, and Mulberry Grove Junior High School. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district's schools.
Mulberry Grove Elementary School stands out with relatively high science proficiency and 5th grade ELA proficiency compared to the other grade levels. However, the district as a whole struggles with declining ELA and math proficiency rates from elementary to high school. Mulberry Grove Senior High School has a strong 4-year graduation rate of 93.5% but also the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 31%, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance at the high school level.
Across the district, the schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 48.72% to 54.55%, indicating socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning. The district appears to allocate resources fairly evenly, with similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios. Overall, the data suggests the district should focus on addressing the declining academic performance, particularly in ELA and math, and explore strategies to improve attendance and support students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
