Summary:
The 61375 zip code is home to a single high school, Midland High School, which is part of the Midland CUSD 7 district. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate of 89%, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 53% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Midland High School's test scores show room for improvement, with only 22.7% of students proficient or better in ACT/Math and 25.5% proficient or better in SAT/ELA, compared to state averages of 39.3% and 31.1%, respectively. The school's performance on PreACT Secure and ISA/Science assessments is also below the state averages. However, the school's graduation rate of 89% is relatively high, and the dropout rate of 2.4% is relatively low.
Despite the academic challenges, Midland High School appears to be providing a solid educational foundation for its students. The school's small size, with only 195 students, may present both challenges and opportunities in terms of personalized attention and resource allocation. The high spending per student of $13,329 suggests that the school is investing resources, but the outcomes indicate that there is room for improvement in supporting student achievement and addressing chronic absenteeism.
