Summary:
The Galesburg CUSD 205 school district in Illinois has only one middle school, Lombard Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. While the school's performance is mixed compared to state averages, there are some areas that need improvement, particularly in mathematics proficiency and chronic absenteeism.
Academically, Lombard Middle School's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are slightly better than the district average but still significantly lower than the state average. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are lower than both the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school's science proficiency in 5th grade is also lower than the state average. These academic challenges suggest a need for the school and district to focus on strengthening math instruction and support for students.
Additionally, Lombard Middle School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average. This issue may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance and should be addressed through targeted interventions and support for students and families. The school also serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with a free and reduced lunch rate of 77.18%, indicating a need for additional resources and support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
