Summary:
The 60805 zip code in Illinois has only one middle school, Central Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Evergreen Park Education Service District 124. While Central Middle School has a student enrollment of 582, its academic performance lags behind district and state averages, particularly in mathematics proficiency.
Central Middle School's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are below the district and state averages across all grade levels, with the 8th-grade ELA proficiency rate being the lowest at 35.4% compared to 56.7% statewide. The school's mathematics proficiency is even more concerning, with all grade levels performing significantly worse than the district and state, ranging from 18.9% in 8th grade to 32.5% in 7th grade. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is notably higher than the state average, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Despite these academic struggles, Central Middle School faces other challenges as well. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, and nearly half of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. These socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance and require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
