Summary

Midwest Central Middle School serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 183 students in Green Valley, with 11 nearby schools providing context for its results. Its most important challenge is math: just 30% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, below both the state and district.

ELA is the school’s clearest strength: 62% were proficient, 6 percentage points above both the state and Midwest Central CUSD 191. Math proficiency was 30%, 9 points below the state and 8 below the district. Among 11 nearby schools with all-grades results, Midwest Central ranked third in ELA and fourth in math; among the three serving grades 6–8, it ranked second in both subjects. Results vary by grade: sixth-grade math was 20%, 17 points below the state, while seventh-grade math was 42%, 2 points above it. Eighth-grade science is another bright spot, at 59%—7 points above the state and second among nearby schools with results, behind Illini Bluffs Middle School at 79% and just above Tremont Middle School at 58%.

ELA proficiency climbed from 40% in 2023–2024 to 62% in 2025–2026, while math rose from 22% to 30% but remained below the state. SchoolDigger gives the school 2 stars and a 46th-percentile statewide ranking, down 10 percentile points from the prior year; the district ranks at the 29th percentile. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students is notably stronger: the group ranked at the 83rd percentile in 2025–2026, 37 points above the school’s overall percentile. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 11.4, compared with a nearby-school average of about 13, and 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 51%. Chronic absenteeism also fell from 44% in 2021–2022 to 19% in 2025–2026. The earlier science result covers all grades, so it cannot be directly compared with the latest eighth-grade figure.
