Grove Junior High School

Summary:

Grove Junior High School is a public middle school located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 791 students. The school is part of the Community Consolidated School District 59, which is ranked 424 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grove Junior High School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois middle schools over the past 10 years, with only around 37% and 24% of students meeting or exceeding proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics, respectively, in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 6.6% in 2019-2020 to 30% in 2021-2022, is a key concern and may be contributing to the school's academic underperformance. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.19% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, nearby schools, such as Algonquin Middle School, Carl Sandburg Junior High School, and F.E. Peacock Middle School, which are part of other nearby districts, consistently outperform Grove Junior High School on state assessments and have higher overall rankings. While Grove Junior High School has increased its spending per student from $16,060 in 2019-2020 to $21,970 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, this increased spending does not appear to have translated into improved academic outcomes for the school.

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.
