Mannheim Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois middle schools, with below-average performance on state assessments across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 36.6% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.2% statewide, and only 13.2% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 28.4% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for English Language Learners and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 25% of Illinois middle schools. Additionally, Mannheim Middle School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 28.3% to 35.4% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Elm Middle School in Elmwood Park and Hester Junior High School in Franklin Park, Mannheim Middle School's performance is generally lower, with higher academic achievement and lower chronic absenteeism rates at these other schools. However, Mannheim Middle School's African American students performed exceptionally well, ranking 22 out of 573 Illinois middle schools in 2021-2022, the only subgroup to achieve a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school continues to struggle to improve academic outcomes and serve its diverse student population.

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.
