Best Public Schools in Metropolis, IL


Summary:

The city of Metropolis, Illinois is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Massac UD 1 district, except for Maple Grove Elementary which is part of the Joppa-Maple Grove UD 38 district.

Franklin Elementary School and Jefferson Elementary School consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics that far exceed the district and state averages. Meanwhile, Massac Junior High School also performs very well, ranking in the top 20% of Illinois middle schools.

The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the top-performing elementary schools and the lower-performing Maple Grove Elementary, suggesting that factors beyond just district-level funding and resources can have a significant impact on student outcomes. Additionally, the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which likely impacts student learning and achievement, and potential equity concerns due to the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates among the schools.
