Summary

Parkview Junior High School is a public middle school located in Lawrenceville, Illinois, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 225 students. The school is part of the Lawrence County CUD 20 district, which is ranked 632 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parkview Junior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois middle schools, ranging from 701 to 951 out of 1,241 to 1,369 schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating below-average performance compared to other Illinois middle schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have been significantly lower than the state average, with female students generally performing better than male students and white students consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Illinois middle schools for their demographic. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.4% to 37.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the increased per-student spending and a relatively small class size, Parkview Junior High School's academic performance has not shown significant improvement, suggesting that simply increasing resources may not be enough to address the underlying challenges the school faces. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, implementing targeted interventions, and addressing the factors that contribute to the school's struggles, such as high chronic absenteeism.
