New Holland-Middletown Elementary School

Summary:

New Holland-Middletown Elementary School is a small public school serving around 75 students in grades K-8 in Middletown, Illinois, a predominantly White community. Despite relatively high per-student spending, the school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a student population with a relatively low socioeconomic status.

New Holland-Middletown Elementary School has seen a troubling trend in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from a high of 5 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars in 2009-2010 to just 1 out of 5 stars currently. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 8.3% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to state averages of 40.5% and 25.7%, respectively. This low academic performance is in stark contrast to nearby schools like Chester-East Lincoln Elementary School, which has significantly higher proficiency rates and a lower chronic absenteeism rate.

The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.9% in the 2022-2023 school year is notably higher than the state average and the rates of many nearby schools. Additionally, a high percentage (around 72%) of students at New Holland-Middletown Elementary School qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $21,859 in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, raising questions about the effective use of resources and the factors contributing to the school's underperformance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
