Summary:
The 60115 zip code area is home to two middle schools - Huntley Middle School and Clinton Rosette Middle School. Both schools serve grades 6-8 and are part of the DeKalb CUSD 428 district. However, the data analysis reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state and district averages on key metrics.
Neither Huntley Middle School nor Clinton Rosette Middle School stand out as high-performing institutions. Both schools have low statewide rankings, with Huntley ranked around 1,000 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools and Clinton Rosette ranked around 1,200. Additionally, both schools have consistently been rated 1 or 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may be a contributing factor to the schools' academic challenges, as both Huntley Middle School and Clinton Rosette Middle School have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the schools are still struggling to improve academic performance, indicating that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help these schools improve and close the achievement gap with their peers.
