ALLEN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Allen Junior High School is a Title I public middle school that is part of the La Moille CUSD 303 school district, located in La Moille, IL with about 92 students offering grade levels from 4th 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 9 teachers, Allen Junior High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

Allen Junior High School is located in the small village of La Moille, Illinois, and functions as a core component of the La Moille Community Unit School District 303. Serving students in the junior high grade levels, the school is situated on South Main Street in a rural setting that emphasizes a close-knit, community-focused educational environment. Because of its size, the school is able to maintain smaller class settings, allowing for more individualized attention and a supportive atmosphere where faculty and staff are closely integrated with the student body.

As part of a consolidated district, Allen Junior High focuses on providing a foundational middle-level education that bridges the gap between elementary schooling and high school preparation. The school places a high value on academic development while fostering a sense of community engagement consistent with the values of a small-town Illinois school system. By prioritizing student growth and local involvement, Allen Junior High aims to prepare its pupils for the transition to the local high school while maintaining the personalized standards expected in a tight-knit rural district.
