Summary

Shiloh Park Middle School is a public middle school located in Zion, Illinois, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 351 students. The school is part of the Zion Education Service District 6. Despite its relatively high per-student spending, Shiloh Park Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Illinois middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, with consistently low proficiency rates across all grade levels and student subgroups. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.5% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53.1% statewide and 18.3% in the Zion Education Service District 6. The school's performance is particularly low for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students (ranked 650 out of 669 Illinois middle schools in ELA) and English Language Learner students (ranked 397 out of 483 in ELA). Additionally, Shiloh Park Middle School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.4% to 35.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Comparing Shiloh Park Middle School to nearby schools, it is clear that the school is underperforming relative to its peers, even within the same district and region. For instance, Zion Central Middle School, which is also part of the Zion Education Service District 6, has slightly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics. When compared to schools in the Waukegan CUSD 60 district, such as Neal Math Science Academy and John R. Lewis Middle School, Shiloh Park Middle School's performance is also lower, but the gap is not as significant as with the state and district averages. Notably, North Prairie Junior High, located in the Winthrop Harbor School District 1, stands out as a higher-performing school, with significantly better academic outcomes than Shiloh Park Middle School.
