Iroquois Middle School - 02 struggles with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 35.42% of students proficient or better in ELA and just 14.58% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 50.93% and 43.49%, respectively. The school also faces high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.9% to 21.1% over the past few years.
