Best Public Schools in Mazon, IL

Summary:

The city of Mazon, Illinois is home to two schools - Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Elementary School and Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School, both part of the Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Education Service District 2C. The elementary school has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking and rating, while the middle school has experienced a decline, particularly in mathematics performance.

The Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Elementary School has 183 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.2, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. The school's 3rd and 4th grade students have excelled on the IAR English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, outperforming district and state averages. In contrast, the Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School, with 144 students and a 12.8 student-teacher ratio, has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates are well below district and state averages.

Both schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, at 25.4%, which is higher than the state average. The district's approach to resource allocation appears equitable, with similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios at the elementary and middle school levels. By addressing the disparities in subject-specific performance and chronic absenteeism, the district can work to support the academic success and well-being of all students in Mazon.
