Summary:
The 61473 zip code area has only one school, Monmouth-Roseville Junior High School, a public middle school serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 208 students. While the school's per-student spending and student-to-teacher ratio suggest adequate resources, its academic performance has been consistently below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math, indicating a need for improvement in student outcomes.
Monmouth-Roseville Junior High School has fluctuated in its statewide ranking, ranging from 860th out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 945th out of 1,363 in 2023-2024. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 38.1% (8th grade) to 41.3% (7th grade), compared to the state average of 53.1%. In math, the proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 9.5% (8th grade) to 19.6% (7th grade), compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's science proficiency rate for 8th grade in 2024-2025 was also below the state average at 37.5%.
The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 66.83% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. While the high poverty concentration may present additional challenges, the school's resources, as indicated by the per-student spending and student-to-teacher ratio, suggest that factors beyond funding may be contributing to the academic underperformance. Without additional comparative data from other schools in the 61473 zip code or the broader region, it is difficult to make definitive conclusions about the school's performance or identify any clear standout schools in the area.
