Summary:
The 61489 zip code has only one middle school, Williamsfield Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and is part of the Williamsfield CUSD 210 district. While the school has shown some strengths, particularly in English Language Arts, it has also faced challenges, especially in Math performance, which has been below the state average.
Williamsfield Middle School has fluctuated in its statewide ranking, going from a 4-star rating in 2024-2025 to 2-star ratings in the previous two years. The school outperformed the state in ELA proficiency across all grades, but underperformed in Math, with only 39.5% of students proficient or better compared to the state's 38.5%. The school's 8th grade Math proficiency rate of 29.6% was particularly low. However, the school did outperform the state in Science proficiency for both 5th and 8th grades.
With a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 40% and higher-than-average spending per student, Williamsfield Middle School appears to serve a economically disadvantaged population. The school's smaller size and lower student-teacher ratio of 8.3 may be an asset, but the inconsistent performance and specific challenges in Math suggest that the school may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
