Summary:
The Mulberry Grove CUSD 1 district in Illinois serves students from elementary through high school, with one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district's schools.
Mulberry Grove Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that exceed both district and state averages. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Mulberry Grove Senior High School lags significantly behind state averages in core subject proficiency, despite having a high graduation rate and low dropout rate. The Mulberry Grove Junior High School appears to be the weakest performer, with the lowest proficiency rates in the district.
A concerning trend across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the district's relatively high spending per student, coupled with the poor academic performance, suggests the district may need to evaluate how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning. Addressing attendance issues and improving academic outcomes, particularly at the junior high and high school levels, should be priorities for the Mulberry Grove CUSD 1 district.
