EGYPTIAN JR HIGH SCHOOL

Egyptian Jr High School is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Egyptian CUSD 5 school district, located in Tamms, IL with about 91 students offering grade levels from 6th 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, Egyptian Jr High 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.

Egyptian Junior High School, located at 20023 Diswood Rd in Tamms, Illinois, serves as a central educational hub for students in the rural southern region of the state. As part of the Egyptian Community Unit School District #5, the school is dedicated to bridging the academic gap between elementary education and high school, providing a focused environment designed to meet the unique social, emotional, and intellectual needs of early adolescents.

The school operates within a small-town setting, fostering a tight-knit community atmosphere where staff often prioritize personalized attention and student development. By offering a core curriculum alongside extracurricular opportunities, Egyptian Junior High strives to prepare its students for the rigor of high school while encouraging them to engage actively within their local school district and the broader Tamms community.
