Summary

New Holland-Middletown Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Middletown, Illinois, with a total enrollment of 75 students. The school is part of the New Holland-Middletown Educational 88 District, which is ranked 560 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New Holland-Middletown Elementary School has consistently low academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 38.3% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 53.1%, and only 29.2% were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 512 out of 2,147 Illinois elementary schools in 2010-2011 to 1,107 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025. Nearby schools, such as Chester-East Lincoln Elementary School and Greenview Elementary School, have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates in the 60-70% range for both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

New Holland-Middletown Elementary School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24% to 26.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Nearby schools, such as Adams Elementary School and Chester-East Lincoln Elementary School, also have high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting this may be a regional issue. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at New Holland-Middletown Elementary School, ranging from $16,393 to $24,852 in recent years, the academic performance remains low, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to address the underlying issues affecting student achievement.
