Miller Twp Ccsd 210, IL - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Miller Twp Ccsd 210

Miller Twp CCSD 210 serves kindergarten through eighth grade across the Marseilles area in LaSalle County. The district is small, with enrollment around the low-hundreds, distributed fairly evenly across its grade span. The student population is predominantly white, with a small Hispanic population. Data on free or reduced-price lunch rates and special education enrollment were not available.

The district's recent state assessment results show a clear pattern: strong performance in the early elementary grades that declines sharply as students progress. In third grade, just over two-thirds of students meet proficiency in both English language arts and math. Fourth grade performs even stronger in language arts, with proficiency near four-fifths. But fifth grade marks a significant drop, especially in math where proficiency falls by half, and this downward trajectory continues through the middle grades. By seventh grade, fewer than one in five students meet proficiency in either subject. Eighth grade shows some recovery in science, where proficiency is in the middle range, though literacy proficiency remains in the low range. The participation rate was complete across all tested grades.

Among LaSalle County's districts, Miller Twp's overall proficiency index sits above the midpoint, a strength relative to the county. The district stands out more visibly for its chronic absenteeism rate, which ranks in the top quartile across the county, meaning students attend more consistently than most neighboring districts. Per-pupil spending is in the lower range compared to county peers. The district does not serve grades nine through twelve, so no graduation rate data apply.

The area's housing market shows modest home values, significantly below the state average. Demand for housing is strong relative to supply, and homes are selling, though the median time on market has lengthened. Renting is notably more affordable relative to the local income than purchasing. The area's economic backdrop includes a local unemployment rate near the national average and median household income in the region roughly in line with national figures.

A parent considering this district should weigh its elementary strengths against the pronounced achievement decline in the middle grades. The consistent attendance record is a positive signal about school engagement in the community. A conversation with the district about instructional approaches and support systems in grades five through eight would help clarify whether this pattern reflects transition challenges, curriculum gaps, or other factors that might affect a child's academic pathway.
