Summary

Central 3-4 Middle School is a public elementary school serving 113 students in grades 3-4 in Quincy, Illinois. The school is part of the Central CUSD 3 district, which is ranked 394 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Central 3-4 Middle School has shown mixed performance on standardized tests. In the most recent year, the school outperformed the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, in previous years, the school's test scores have been lower, with only 33% proficient in ELA and 29.6% in Math. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching over 25% in the last two years. While the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female and low-income students performing better, students with special needs have struggled, ranking in the bottom 10% of Illinois schools in this category.

When compared to other nearby schools, Central 3-4 Middle School shows both strengths and weaknesses. It outperforms the Brown County Elementary School in test scores, but lags behind the higher-performing Liberty Elementary School. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests that it serves a relatively disadvantaged population, but its low-income students have performed better than the overall school average, indicating that the school may be effectively supporting these students. Overall, Central 3-4 Middle School faces significant challenges, but also shows some strengths, and its performance has fluctuated in recent years, suggesting that the school may be making progress in addressing its weaknesses.
