Summary:

Gavin School District 37 in Illinois has only one middle school, Gavin South Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The data analysis indicates that this school is not a standout performer in the district or the state, with declining rankings, underperformance in mathematics, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population facing economic disadvantage.

Gavin South Middle School's proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) in English Language Arts (49.7%) and Mathematics (25.1%) are both below the state averages (53.1% and 38.5%, respectively). The school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) is mixed, with 5th-grade students scoring below the state average but 8th-grade students scoring above. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance.

Despite spending $16,165 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, Gavin South Middle School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past few years, from 610 out of 1,368 in 2024-2025 to 816 out of 1,363 in 2023-2024 and 981 out of 1,367 in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other middle schools in Illinois, and the district should focus on addressing the challenges faced by Gavin South Middle School to improve student outcomes.
