Summary:
The Grant CCSD 110 district in Illinois contains a single middle school, Grant Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has faced academic challenges, with proficiency rates below state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the school grapples with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and serves a student population with significant socioeconomic needs, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Grant Middle School's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is a concern. In English Language Arts, proficiency ranges from 43.1% to 54.7% across grade levels, while in Mathematics, it falls between 4.7% and 19.4%, and in Science, it is 16.9% for 5th grade and 34.3% for 8th grade - all well below state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 811 and 839 out of 1,363 to 1,368 Illinois middle schools over the past three school years, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,864 and a small student-teacher ratio of 9.4, the data suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and support for students, particularly in the areas of Mathematics and Science. Additionally, addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population could be crucial in improving the school's overall performance and outcomes.
