Summary:
Litchfield CUSD 12 has one middle school, Litchfield Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 282 students. With no other middle schools in this list, the most useful comparison is with Illinois results. The clearest takeaway is that the school’s ELA results are a major strength, while math is its biggest relative weakness: in 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 78%, 21 points above the state’s 56%, while math proficiency was 32%, 7 points below the state’s 40%.
There is no meaningful top-or-bottom school comparison because Litchfield Middle School is the only school in the group. Its ELA results were above the state in every grade, by 17–20 points; grade 8 was strongest at 83%, compared with 74% in grade 7. Math was below the state in all three grades, by 2–8 points, with grade 6 lowest at 28% and grade 7 highest at 36%. Eighth-grade science was close to the state result: 51% at the school versus 52% statewide, or 1 point below.
Recent results show different trends by subject: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, school ELA rose 3 points, while its advantage over the state narrowed from 22 to 21 points; math fell 3 points as the state rose 1, widening the school’s deficit from 3 to 7 points. Eighth-grade science was nearly unchanged at the school, while the state rose 7 points, shifting the school from 5 points above the state to 1 point below. SchoolDigger gave the school 3 stars and ranked it 464 of 1,126 schools, at the 59th percentile; that percentile declined from 82nd in 2023–2024. As context, 63% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio was 12.2 in that year. The list includes only one school, so it cannot show how the school compares with other middle schools in the area.
