Parkview Junior High School

Summary:

Parkview Junior High School is a public middle school in Lawrenceville, Illinois, serving 235 students in grades 6-8. Unfortunately, this school is struggling to provide a quality education, with academic performance well below state and district averages.

Parkview's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the state's, with only 38.7% of students proficient in English Language Arts and just 12.2% proficient in mathematics, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's performance is also below the average for its district, Lawrence County CUD 20. In comparison, the nearby Sumner Attendance Center, part of the Red Hill CUSD 10 district, significantly outperforms Parkview in both subjects. Additionally, Parkview has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching over 50% in some years, which likely contributes to its academic challenges.

Parkview's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with some groups, such as white students and students with disabilities, performing particularly poorly compared to their peers in the state. The school's funding and resources, including fluctuations in spending per student and student-teacher ratio, suggest that it may be facing challenges in effectively allocating resources to support student learning. Overall, the data indicates that Parkview Junior High School is a low-performing school that requires significant interventions and support to improve 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.
