Trico Junior High School has shown mixed academic performance, with 50% of students proficient or better in ELA, which is higher than the district (39.4%) and state (41.2%) averages, but only 16.8% of students proficient or better in math, significantly lower than the district (19.2%) and state (28.4%) averages.

When comparing Trico Junior High School to nearby middle schools, some interesting patterns emerge. Du Quoin Middle School and Pinckneyville Middle School both outperform Trico in academic proficiency, while Murphysboro Middle School and Coulterville Junior High School have lower academic proficiency rates. Trico's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby schools suggest a focus on providing more resources and support for students, which may be contributing to the school's academic performance.

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.
