Summary:
Jersey CUSD 100 has one middle school, Jersey Community Middle School, serving grades 5–7 and 489 students. Its most notable result is English language arts: in 2025–2026, 69% of students were proficient, 12 percentage points above the state.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom school comparison because this is the only middle school in the area. The school’s strongest state-relative results were ELA and fifth-grade science: ELA proficiency was 69% compared with 56% statewide, and fifth-grade science was 53% compared with 48%. Math was a relative weakness: 39% were proficient, 1 point below the state’s 40% and 3 points below the Jersey CUSD 100 result of 42%. ELA was also above the district’s 66% result. Within the school, ELA was above the state in each tested grade, while math results varied by grade.
Recent results show improvement in math and science, but SchoolDigger’s ranking moved in the opposite direction. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math proficiency rose 4 points, from 34% to 39%, and fifth-grade science rose 11 points, from 42% to 53%; ELA was nearly unchanged, at 69% in both years. Over that period, SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking shifted from the 73rd percentile and 4 stars to the 63rd percentile and 3 stars (from rank 369 of 1,368 to 419 of 1,126). The school had a 14.1:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, and 45% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these figures offer context, not an explanation of results.
