Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the city of Tamms, Illinois - Egyptian Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Egyptian CUSD 5 district. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Illinois middle schools over the past 3 years and has very low student proficiency rates in core academic subjects, with only 8.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 2.7% proficient or better in Mathematics.
Despite the school's poor academic performance, it spends a relatively high amount per student at $16,037 per year and has a low student-teacher ratio of 12.1. However, the school serves a high-poverty community, with 100% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students and that additional resources and targeted interventions may be needed to address the unique needs of the student population.
Overall, the data on Egyptian Junior High School paints a concerning picture of a persistently low-performing school serving a high-poverty community. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success.
