Summary:

The 61102 zip code in Rockford, Illinois is home to a single middle school, Rockford Environmental Science Academy, which serves grades 6-8. This school has consistently underperformed compared to other middle schools across the state, ranking in the bottom 10% for the past three years and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rockford Environmental Science Academy faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and low academic proficiency levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 14.2% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 4.5% in Math, and 13.6% in 8th grade Science, all well below the state averages. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 82.66% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Despite spending $17,230 per student in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average, the school has not seen commensurate improvements in student outcomes. The student-teacher ratio of 16.1 is slightly higher than the recommended ratio, and the school's overall performance suggests a need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the challenges and improve student achievement at Rockford School District 205.
