Middle Schools in Edwardsville CUSD 7

Summary:

Edwardsville CUSD 7, a school district located in Illinois, is home to two middle schools: Liberty Middle School and Lincoln Middle School. Based on the available data, Liberty Middle School emerges as the standout performer, consistently ranking higher on the statewide SchoolDigger list and outperforming the district and state averages in most academic subjects.

Liberty Middle School has a ranking of 292 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to Lincoln Middle School's ranking of 440. Additionally, Liberty Middle School boasts higher test scores across the board, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, both schools face challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, which warrant further investigation.

While Lincoln Middle School has a higher per-student spending of $13,619, compared to $12,569 for Liberty Middle School, this higher investment does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the district's resource allocation and the need to ensure that funding is directed towards initiatives and programs that have a direct impact on student learning.
