Summary:
Forest Ridge School District 142 in Illinois contains a single middle school, Jack Hille Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting it may be underperforming compared to other middle schools in the state.
Academically, Jack Hille Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages, with the exception of 6th grade ELA. The school's 8th grade ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates are particularly concerning, falling well below state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.
Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3 and higher per-student spending than the state average, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes and resource allocation. However, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates it may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could require additional resources and targeted interventions to support student success.
