Summary:

Serena CUSD 2 is a small school district in Illinois that contains only one middle school, Serena Middle School. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in 5th grade English Language Arts and Science, it struggles in several key areas compared to other Illinois middle schools.

Serena Middle School's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the state averages, with particularly low performance in 8th grade Math. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, significantly above the state average. With a SchoolDigger rating of only 2 out of 5 stars, Serena Middle School is in the bottom half of Illinois middle schools in terms of overall quality.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $17,623, it has not translated into consistently strong academic performance. The school's uneven results, with pockets of strength but also significant challenges, suggest that the Serena CUSD 2 district and school leadership should focus on addressing the school's areas of concern to ensure that students receive a high-quality education.
