Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 62095 zip code - Lewis-Clark Junior High School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Wood River-Hartford Education Service District 15.
Lewis-Clark Junior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois middle schools, with a ranking between 893-1094 out of 1363-1368 schools in the past three school years. The school's performance rating has also been low, with only 1-2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40.1%) and Mathematics (19.3%) were significantly below the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's 8th grade science proficiency rate was also lower than the state average (33.3% vs. 45.4%).
Despite its relatively small student population of 176 and a student-teacher ratio slightly lower than the state average, Lewis-Clark Junior High School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (76.14% in 2023-2024) suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may present additional challenges in terms of providing resources and support. The school's consistently low performance and proficiency gaps indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
