Central 3-4 Middle School

Summary:

Central 3-4 Middle School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-4 in Quincy, Illinois, with 110 students. The school is part of the Central CUSD 3 district, which is ranked 293 out of 813 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Central 3-4 Middle School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 901 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1,730 out of 2,037 in 2017-2018. Its academic performance has also been inconsistent, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (33%) and Mathematics (29.6%) below the state averages in the 2023-2024 school year. Female students generally perform better than male students, while white students and special education students rank in the bottom quartile of Illinois elementary schools. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also varied significantly, from 3.8% to 25.0%.

Compared to nearby schools, Central Elementary Grade School in the same district has slightly better academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism, while schools in other districts, such as Brown County Elementary School and Liberty Elementary School, generally outperform Central 3-4 Middle School. However, the school's increased spending per student, from $9,189 in 2019-2020 to $11,392 in 2022-2023, has not shown a clear correlation with improved academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be influencing student outcomes.

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.
