Summary:
Fieldcrest CUSD 6 is a school district in Illinois that contains a single middle school, Fieldcrest Middle School. The school serves students in grades 6-8 and has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 367 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools in 2023-2024 to 570 out of 1,367 in 2022-2023.
Fieldcrest Middle School's academic performance has been mixed compared to state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate for all grades (58.1%) was higher than the Fieldcrest CUSD 6 (50%) and state (53.1%) averages, but its Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades (36%) was lower than the district (35.1%) and state (38.5%) averages. The school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate on the ISA test was also lower than the state average in 2024-2025.
The school faces some socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (57.98% in 2023-2024) and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate (25.4% in 2024-2025). Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively high per-student spending ($17,232 in 2023-2024) and a low student-teacher ratio (11.3 in 2023-2024), suggesting that the district is allocating significant resources to the school. However, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into consistently strong student outcomes across all subject areas.
