Middle Schools in Lake Villa CCSD 41

Summary:

There is only one middle school, Peter J Palombi School, located within the Lake Villa CCSD 41 school district in Illinois. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 670 to 712 out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools, and holds a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Peter J Palombi School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics falling below the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school's 8th-grade proficiency rates are particularly low, with only 45.3% proficient or better in ELA and 22.3% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 56.7% and 32.9%, respectively. The school's 8th-grade science proficiency rate is also below the state average, at 34.4% compared to 45.4%.

The school serves a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 44.77% in the 2023-2024 school year. While the school's per-student spending of $11,299 appears adequate, the declining performance and achievement gaps may indicate that the resources are not being effectively utilized or allocated to address the specific needs of the student population.
