Lundahl Middle School

Summary:

Lundahl Middle School is a public middle school located in Crystal Lake, Illinois, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 821 students. The school is part of the Crystal Lake CCSD 47 district, which is ranked 393 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lundahl Middle School faces several challenges, including lower academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics, and significant achievement gaps for certain student subgroups. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Lundahl's proficiency rates were 40.9% in ELA and 19.4% in Math, compared to the district's 42.7% in ELA and 25.7% in Math, and the state's 41.2% in ELA and 28.4% in Math. Additionally, Lundahl Middle School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking particularly low for Hispanic students (1-2 stars out of 5) and English Language Learner students (0-1 star out of 5) in recent years.

Another area of concern for Lundahl Middle School is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased from 5.6% in 2019-2020 to 16.8% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's performance in the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) is a bright spot, with 69.7% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the district (62.7%) and state (53.2%) averages. To address these challenges, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions, such as enhanced academic support, attendance monitoring and outreach, and specialized programs for underperforming subgroups.

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.
