Summary:
Mulberry Grove CUSD 1 is a small, rural school district in Illinois that contains only one middle school, Mulberry Grove Junior High School. This middle school serves a student population of just 69 students and faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state averages.
Mulberry Grove Junior High School's performance on standardized tests is a major concern, with only 23.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and just 15.3% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's academic struggles have been consistent over the past few years, and it also grapples with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes.
The data suggests that Mulberry Grove CUSD 1 and its sole middle school face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the school's low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and other factors that are hindering student success.
