Summary:
The Joppa-Maple Grove UD 38 school district in Illinois is home to a single high school, Joppa Junior & Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois high schools over the past three years, indicating persistent academic challenges.
Joppa Junior & Senior High School's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 27.6% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 20.7% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate of 89.0% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.4% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite these academic struggles, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1, and its per-student spending of $25,690 is higher than the state average. However, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 80.46%, which suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support will likely be crucial in improving the school's performance and outcomes for its students.
