Summary:
The city of Onarga, Illinois has only one public middle school, Iroquois West Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance is in the middle range compared to other Illinois middle schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking that has fluctuated in recent years.
Academically, Iroquois West Middle School's ELA and math proficiency rates are above the state average but below the district average, Iroquois West CUSD 10. However, the school's science proficiency is significantly below the state average, which is a concerning trend. The school has a relatively high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, and the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's resource allocation, with a low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, the academic performance data suggests that additional support or interventions may be necessary to improve outcomes, particularly in the area of science proficiency. The school's mixed performance compared to district and state benchmarks highlights the need for continued focus on addressing the unique needs of the student population and implementing effective strategies to enhance academic achievement across all subject areas.
