Summary:
The 62666 zip code contains a single elementary school, New Holland-Middletown Elementary School, which serves students in the New Holland-Middletown Educational 88 district. The school has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, ranking 1,107 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. Its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38.3%) and Mathematics (29.2%), is significantly below the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively.
The school's performance has been relatively stagnant, with rankings of 1,627 and 1,565 in the 2018-2019 and 2017-2018 school years, respectively. Proficiency rates vary across grade levels, with 3rd grade performing better than 4th and 6th grades in both subjects. The school has a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 68% in the 2023-2024 school year, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $24,852 and small class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of 6.2, the academic performance remains below state averages. This suggests the need for a deeper analysis of the school's improvement strategies and the implementation of targeted interventions to drive academic growth and address the underlying challenges facing the school.
