Middle Schools in Central CUSD 3

Summary:

Central CUSD 3 in Illinois has only one middle school, Central Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking declining from 445 out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 729 out of 1,368 in 2024-2025.

Central Junior High School's performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to the district and state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were below the Central CUSD 3 and state averages for all grade levels. However, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was higher than the district and state averages. The school also faces a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025.

Despite these challenges, Central Junior High School has access to adequate resources, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 and per-student spending of $13,474 for the 2023-2024 school year. The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 43.64% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the specific needs of this student population may be key to improving the school's overall performance and student engagement.
