Alton CUSD 11 is a school district in Illinois that contains only one middle school, Alton Middle School. This school has consistently performed below average compared to other Illinois middle schools, ranking in the bottom third of the state over the past three years. Alton Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 37% of students proficient in ELA and 17.6% proficient in Math during the 2024-2025 school year.

Despite having higher-than-average per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, Alton Middle School's academic performance remains a concern.
