Summary:
Ridgeview CUSD 19 is a school district in Illinois that contains only one middle school, Ridgeview Junior High School. This school serves grades 6-8 and has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Illinois middle schools over the past three school years, indicating persistent academic struggles.
Ridgeview Junior High School's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics around 30% and 19% respectively, compared to state averages of over 50% and 38%. The school's Science proficiency rate is also below the state average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, much higher than the state's average. These factors suggest Ridgeview Junior High School is a struggling school that is not meeting the academic needs of its students.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 38.26%, indicates it may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to the school's low performance. Overall, Ridgeview CUSD 19 has only one middle school that is consistently underperforming and facing various challenges in supporting the academic success of its students.
