Summary:
The Freeport School District 145 in Illinois is home to two middle schools: Freeport Middle School and Carl Sandburg Middle School. Both schools have consistently performed poorly compared to other middle schools in Illinois, with low rankings, test scores, and overall ratings.
According to the data, neither Freeport Middle School nor Carl Sandburg Middle School stand out as high-performing institutions. Freeport Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Illinois middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Carl Sandburg Middle School has ranked in the bottom 30% with a 1-star rating in recent years and a 2-star rating in 2012-2013. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state averages.
The data also reveals that the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and high chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, the schools have not made significant improvements over time, indicating a need for a comprehensive review of the district's strategies and interventions to drive meaningful change.
