Summary:
The city of Addison, Illinois has only one middle school, Indian Trail Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois middle schools and maintains a 2-out-of-5-star performance rating on the SchoolDigger scale.
Indian Trail Junior High School faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40.3%) and Mathematics (25.2%) for the 2024-2025 school year were well below the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. While the school's 8th-grade proficiency rates were higher than the overall school averages, they still lagged behind state levels. The school's science proficiency rate for 8th grade was also lower than the state average.
Despite the school's low performance, it has relatively high per-student spending of $15,527 for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. This raises questions about how the school is allocating its resources and whether the spending is being effectively utilized to drive student achievement. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 70.61% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, which may contribute to the equity concerns and the school's ability to provide adequate resources and support for its students.
