Summary:

The city of Justice, Illinois has only one middle school, Geo T Wilkins Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 398th out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 563rd out of 1,368 in 2024-2025.

Geo T Wilkins Junior High School's academic performance has been mixed, with the school scoring above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) for all grades and 7th grade, but below the state average in Math for all grades and 8th grade in 2024-2025. The school's science proficiency rate for 8th grade in 2024-2025 was also lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 57.32% in 2023-2024.

Despite the school's declining statewide ranking and uneven academic performance, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, it's important to consider how this ratio translates to actual classroom experiences and student learning. Overall, Indian Springs School District 109, which oversees Geo T Wilkins Junior High School, faces challenges in ensuring the academic success of its middle school students.
