SPRING GARDEN MIDDLE SCHOOL

Spring Garden Middle School is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Spring Garden CCSD 178 school district, located in Ina, IL with about 92 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, Spring Garden Middle School has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Spring Garden Middle School is located in the rural community of Ina, Illinois. As part of the Spring Garden Community Consolidated School District, the school serves students in the middle grades, typically focusing on providing a foundational education that bridges the gap between elementary school and high school. The school operates within a small-town educational environment, often characterized by a tight-knit community feel and a personalized approach to student learning.

Because of its location in a smaller district, Spring Garden Middle School generally emphasizes strong faculty-student relationships and community involvement. It serves as a central hub for families in the Ina area, offering standard academic curricula designed to meet Illinois state learning standards while maintaining the resources and support typical of a rural K-8 or middle-level school setting. Students at the school are typically encouraged to participate in local extracurricular activities, fostering a well-rounded educational experience within a supportive, community-centered atmosphere.
