Summary

Durand Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Durand, Illinois, with a relatively small student population of 61 students. The school is part of the Durand CUSD 322 district, which is ranked 315 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Durand Junior High School has faced some challenges in recent years. Its student performance on state assessments has fluctuated, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranging from a high of 66.1% in 2023-2024 to a low of 13.9% in 2021-2022, and in Math ranging from a high of 30.3% in 2023-2024 to a low of 9.5% in 2020-2021. The school's performance is generally lower than nearby schools like Orangeville Junior High School, Stephen Mack Middle School, and Winnebago Middle School, which have higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math. Additionally, Durand Junior High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15.3% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the increase in per-student spending, from $14,988 in 2020-2021 to $21,882 in 2023-2024, and the improvement in the student-teacher ratio, from 11.3 in 2021-2022 to 7.9 in 2023-2024, Durand Junior High School's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement. The school may need to focus on targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific needs of its student population, particularly in the areas of ELA and Math, in order to drive significant improvements in student learning.
