Summary:
The Streator Education Service District 44 in Illinois contains only one middle school, Northlawn Junior High School. This school is performing below average compared to other middle schools in the state, ranking 926 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Northlawn Junior High School struggles academically, with only 40.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 13.8% proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly lower than the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is likely contributing to its academic challenges. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 66.67% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $16,040 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, Northlawn Junior High School's performance has declined over the past few years, dropping in the statewide ranking. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address the school's academic and attendance issues.
