Summary:
Batavia Unified School District 101 has one middle school, Sam Rotolo Middle School, serving grades 6–8. In 2025–26, its all-grade results were 71% in English language arts (ELA) and 60% in mathematics, compared with Illinois results of 56% and 40%; its eighth-grade science result was 75%, versus 52% statewide. The school was ahead of the state by 15 points in ELA, 20 in mathematics, and 23 in science—the clearest area-wide finding is that results were above state levels in every reported subject.
Sam Rotolo is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this list because it is the only one, so there is no meaningful local top-to-bottom comparison. Its strongest state-relative results were in eighth grade: ELA was 16 points above the state, while mathematics was 34 points higher. Across all grades, mathematics had the larger state advantage, even though the school’s ELA score was higher. These comparisons show how the school performed against Illinois, not how it compares with other nearby schools.
Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in all three tracked subjects, and the state leads widened: ELA rose 8 points at the school versus 3 statewide, mathematics rose 7 versus 1, and eighth-grade science rose 17 versus 7. The school’s advantage over the state grew by 4 points in ELA, 6 in mathematics, and 10 in science. SchoolDigger gives the school four stars, and its reported percentile rose from 78th in 2023–24 to 82nd in 2025–26. In 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 11%, below the district’s 12% and the state’s 24%. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 14.3, and 18% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Because only one school is listed, these figures cannot support a comparison among local schools.
