Summary:
The N Pekin & Marquette Hght School District 102 in Illinois serves students from two schools - Georgetown Middle School and Marquette Elementary School. While the district appears to be allocating resources to these schools, the data suggests they are facing challenges in ensuring consistent academic performance across key metrics.
Neither Georgetown Middle School nor Marquette Elementary School stand out as exceptional performers. Both schools have proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are generally lower than the district and state averages, with some exceptions. Additionally, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding 20%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.
The data also reveals that a significant portion of the student population in these schools faces socioeconomic challenges, with free/reduced lunch rates around 50%. While the district is spending more per student than the state average, the underperformance on test scores suggests that the funding may not be translating into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students could be crucial steps in improving the educational outcomes for students in the N Pekin & Marquette Hght School District 102.
