The Zeigler-Royalton CUSD 188 district in Illinois has only one middle school, Zeigler-Royalton Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is a struggling school that is performing significantly below state averages in key academic areas.
Zeigler-Royalton Junior High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are alarmingly low, with only 24.5% of students proficient or better in ELA and less than 4% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 24.8-28.7%, respectively. The school's performance in Science is slightly better, but still below the state average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending and student-teacher ratio compared to state averages, its academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 62.28%, indicates that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Zeigler-Royalton Junior High School is a struggling school that needs to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address its academic and attendance challenges.
