Middle Schools in Madison CUSD 12

The Madison CUSD 12 district in Illinois has only one middle school, Madison Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school is struggling academically, with proficiency rates well below state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Madison Junior High School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, indicating that a significant portion of the student population is missing a substantial amount of instructional time. The school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 98.28% suggests that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school is facing. Despite the low academic performance, the school is spending a relatively high amount per student ($22,813) and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio (14.5:1), which could indicate that the district is investing resources into the school but the outcomes are not yet reflecting this investment.

Overall, the data suggests that Madison Junior High School is a struggling school that is performing well below state averages in academic proficiency. The high chronic absenteeism rate, high poverty level, and low academic achievement are areas of concern that the Madison CUSD 12 district and school leadership should address to improve student outcomes.
