Summary:
Sunnybrook School District 171 in Illinois is home to a single middle school, Heritage Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it has consistently underperformed compared to state averages, particularly in mathematics proficiency.
Heritage Middle School's statewide ranking has ranged from 721st out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 755th out of 1,368 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) were above the district average but below the state average, while its mathematics proficiency rates were well below both the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year is a concerning issue that likely contributes to its overall academic performance.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,074 in the 2023-2024 school year, its academic performance still lags behind. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and the Sunnybrook School District 171 should explore other strategies to improve student outcomes at Heritage Middle School.
