Newark CCSD 66

The Newark CCSD 66 district in Illinois serves students from two schools - Millbrook Junior High School and Newark Elementary School. Both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with Millbrook Junior High ranking in the top 25% of Illinois middle schools and Newark Elementary ranking in the top 27% of Illinois elementary schools.

Millbrook Junior High School stands out as a high-achieving middle school, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency. The school maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.5%. In contrast, Newark Elementary School also performs well, with its 4th-grade students excelling in English Language Arts proficiency and the school achieving a 4-star rating.

While both schools demonstrate strong academic results, there are some differences in resource allocation. Newark Elementary School spends significantly more per student ($15,499) compared to Millbrook Junior High School ($10,087), and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.3 compared to 16 at Millbrook Junior High. These differences in resource allocation may contribute to the schools' varying performance levels and warrant further investigation to ensure equitable access to educational resources across the district.
