Summary:
The city of Waterman, Illinois has one middle school, Indian Creek Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with proficiency rates in some subjects below district and state averages. However, the school stands out for its strong science proficiency rates, which exceed the state average.
Indian Creek Middle School has a student population of 224 and a relatively high rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at 34.82%. The school spends $13,964 per student, a relatively high amount compared to state averages, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 13.1. Despite these resource investments, the school has struggled with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which could be impacting student learning and achievement.
Overall, while Indian Creek Middle School has some areas of strength, such as its science proficiency, the school's academic performance has been inconsistent across subject areas and grade levels.
