Summary:
The Harvard CUSD 50 district in Illinois has only one middle school, Harvard Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Harvard Junior High School appears to be a struggling school, ranking in the bottom quarter of Illinois middle schools and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with only 26% of students proficient in English Language Arts and just 4.9% proficient in Math. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.1%, which can negatively impact student learning. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 42.04% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 10.7, the consistently low performance and significant gaps in academic achievement suggest that the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum, teaching methods, and support for struggling students. The district and school leadership should carefully analyze the data and develop a comprehensive plan to address these challenges and provide a better educational experience for the students.
