Summary:
The Belleville School District 118 in Illinois is home to two middle schools: West Junior High School and Central Junior High School. These schools serve students in grades 7 and 8 within the district.
Based on the available data, Central Junior High School appears to be the standout school in the district. It has a higher statewide ranking, with a rank of 496 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools, compared to West Junior High School's rank of 735. Central Junior High School also outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates.
While both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, Central Junior High School has a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients and higher spending per student compared to West Junior High School. However, West Junior High School has a lower student-teacher ratio, which does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes.
