Summary:
The Schaumburg CCSD 54 district in Illinois is home to 5 middle schools serving grades 6-8. These schools have demonstrated a range of academic performance, with Margaret Mead Junior High School emerging as the standout performer in the district.
Margaret Mead Junior High School has consistently ranked among the top 114-87 middle schools in Illinois over the past 3 years and achieved a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating excellent performance. The school has outperformed the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grades. In contrast, Dwight D Eisenhower Junior High School had the lowest Mathematics proficiency rates, with only 42.6% of students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025.
While the schools generally outperformed the district and state in English Language Arts, there was more variation in Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, all 5 middle schools had the same chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is an area that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions. The data also suggests that higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios may not necessarily translate to better academic performance, as the top-performing school did not have the highest spending or the lowest student-teacher ratio.
