Shiloh Park Middle School

Summary:

Shiloh Park Middle School is a public middle school located in Zion, Illinois, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 401 students. The school is part of the Zion Education Service District 6, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Illinois middle schools over the past three school years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shiloh Park Middle School faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 44.7% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the state average of 18.2% and the district average of 12%. Academically, the school's performance is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 13.6% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.2% and the district average of 12%. In mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 3% for 6th grade, 3.6% for 7th grade, and 1.6% for 8th grade, far below the state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in the bottom 10-15% of Illinois middle schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Zion Central Middle School, which is also part of the Zion Education Service District 6, outperforms Shiloh Park Middle School across all academic metrics, including proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, despite Shiloh Park Middle School's low academic performance, its spending per student is higher than the state average and the nearby Zion Central Middle School, raising questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation and the need for a more targeted approach to improving 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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
