Rolling Acres Middle School

Public Grades 5-12

Summary

Rolling Acres Middle School is a public middle school located in Peoria, Illinois, serving grades 5-12 with a total enrollment of 308 students. The school is part of the Peoria School District 150, which is ranked 769 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rolling Acres Middle School faces significant challenges, including consistently higher dropout rates compared to the district and state averages, alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, and consistently lower academic performance in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the IAR exams. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 27.1% of all grades were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 29% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, only 17.9% of all grades were proficient or better, compared to 18.4% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.27% to 68.18% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When comparing Rolling Acres Middle School to other nearby schools, such as Peoria High School, Quest Charter School Academy, and Richwoods High School, the performance gap becomes even more apparent. These nearby schools, while still facing challenges, generally outperform Rolling Acres Middle School in academic metrics, graduation rates, and other key indicators. Despite the higher spending per student at Rolling Acres Middle School, ranging from $15,432 to $18,432 in recent years, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.
