Summary:
The city of Kinmundy, Illinois is home to two public schools that serve students from elementary through middle school: South Central Elementary-Kinmundy and South Central Middle School, both part of the South Central CUD 401 district. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are performing below average compared to state benchmarks, with low rankings, ratings, and academic proficiency rates.
Both South Central Elementary-Kinmundy and South Central Middle School have consistently low rankings and ratings from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, with the elementary school ranked 1311 out of 2077 Illinois elementary schools and the middle school ranked 1036 out of 1367 Illinois middle schools. The schools also struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages, with some middle school grades having 0% proficiency.
Additionally, the schools serve a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 98% of students being white, and have high poverty levels, with over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors, combined with high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the middle school level, suggest that the schools in Kinmundy face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students. Addressing these areas of concern may be crucial for improving educational outcomes in the community.
