Summary

Northlawn Junior High School is a public middle school located in Streator, Illinois, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 606 students. The school is part of the Streator Education Service District 44, which is ranked 703 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northlawn Junior High School has consistently low academic performance compared to the state and its surrounding schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 40.4% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 53.1%. In mathematics, the proficiency rate was even lower at 13.8%, compared to the state average of 38.5%. This trend has persisted over the past few years, with Northlawn consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of Illinois middle schools. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 33% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Northlawn Junior High School's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as Seneca Elementary School South Campus and Fieldcrest Middle School, which serve similar grade levels and student populations but have much higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school's high per-student spending of $16,040 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average, has not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies.
