Summary:
The [Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Education Service District 2C](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/district/25190/search.aspx) has one middle school, [Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/schools/2519002750/school.aspx), serving grades 5–8 and enrolling 144 students. Its clearest concern is all-grades mathematics: 21% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 40% statewide—a gap of 19 percentage points.
Because this is the only school in the area, there is no local school leader or trailer to compare. Within the school’s results, science stands out: grade 5 proficiency was 62%, 14 points above the state, and grade 8 was 56%, 4 points above. ELA results varied by grade: grade 5 was 58%, 3 points above the state, while grade 7 was 39%, 18 points below. All-grades ELA was 50%, 6 points below the state. Grade 5 math was a bright spot at 42%, 6 points above the state, but grades 6–8 math results are suppressed by the state and cannot be assessed.
Over time, science improved most in grade 5: proficiency rose from 40% to 62%, while grade 8 increased from 53% to 56%. By contrast, all-grades ELA rose from 49% to 50%, and its gap with the state widened from 4 to 6 points; math edged down from 21% to 21%, while its gap widened from 17 to 19 points. SchoolDigger gives the district a 2-star rating and ranks it 378 out of 738; its rank-history percentile fell from 53 in 2023–2024 to 34 in 2025–2026. For context, 42% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 12.7 that year. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 16%, above the district’s 13% but below the state’s 24%.
