Middle Schools in Johnsburg CUSD 12

Summary:

Johnsburg CUSD 12 district in Illinois has only one middle school, Johnsburg Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, this school appears to be an underperforming middle school, with declining academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and potential socioeconomic challenges.

Johnsburg Junior High School's proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels. The school's performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 581 out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 897 out of 1,368 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is quite high compared to the state average.

While the school's spending per student is $18,522 and it has a student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. With over a third of the school's students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school may be facing challenges related to socioeconomic factors that can influence student performance. The school's leadership and the Johnsburg CUSD 12 district should closely examine the root causes of these issues and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at Johnsburg Junior High School.
