Summary:
LeRoy CUSD 2 is a small school district in Illinois that contains only one middle school, LeRoy Junior High School. This school has seen fluctuating performance over the past few years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 457 out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 737 out of 1,363 in 2023-2024. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (44%) and Mathematics (35%) were lower than the LeRoy CUSD 2 and state averages, its 8th-grade science proficiency rate (63.3%) was significantly higher than the state average (45.4%).
One area of concern for LeRoy Junior High School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average. The school serves a relatively small student population of 109 students, with 26.61% of the students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 10.1 is lower than the state average, suggesting smaller class sizes.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it appears to be well-resourced, with per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year at $12,626, which is higher than the state average. This additional funding may be used to provide extra support and resources to students, but the impact on academic outcomes is unclear. Overall, LeRoy Junior High School has room for improvement, particularly in addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and boosting proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while building on its strengths in science education.
