Middle Schools in Deland-Weldon CUSD 57

Summary:

The Deland-Weldon CUSD 57 district in Illinois has only one middle school, Deland-Weldon Middle School, which serves grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 24 students.

Deland-Weldon Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates, across multiple grade levels and school years. The school's 1-star rating and ranking of 1098 out of 1368 Illinois middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year indicate significant challenges in providing effective academic instruction and support for its students. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is notably higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 54.17% in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the district's relatively high per-student spending of $19,490 for the 2023-2024 school year, the school's low academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 1 indicates that class size is not a significant factor in the school's challenges.
