Summary:
The Schuyler-Industry CUSD 5 district in Illinois contains a single middle school, Schuyler Industry Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance data suggests it is struggling, ranking in the bottom quarter of Illinois middle schools and earning a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Schuyler Industry Middle School faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is much higher than the state average. The school's academic proficiency rates are also well below state averages, with only 28.3% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 19.4% proficient in Mathematics. Science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th graders are 32.2% and 29.3%, respectively, again falling short of state benchmarks. Over 55% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite higher-than-average spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Schuyler Industry Middle School has not shown meaningful improvement in its performance over the past three years. This suggests the school may need to implement a more comprehensive and effective school improvement plan to address the underlying factors contributing to its low academic outcomes.
