Summary:
The city of Table Grove, Illinois has only one middle school, V I T Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. This small school has seen fluctuating academic performance, with strong results in English Language Arts but weaker outcomes in Mathematics compared to district and state averages.
V I T Junior High School has a relatively small student population of 79 students, with a high rate of 50.63% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school is well-resourced, spending $16,050 per student and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8. However, the school's overall state ranking has ranged from 641 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools in 2024-2025 to 850 out of 1,363 in 2023-2024.
While the school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment for 8th grade was slightly better than the state average, the inconsistent academic results suggest the need for the school to focus on improving its math instruction and curriculum. Additionally, the high poverty rate among the student population may require targeted support and resources to ensure all students have the necessary tools to succeed academically.
