Summary:
Roselle Middle School is the only middle school listed in Roselle School District 12, serving grades 6–8; it enrolls 230 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 13.6. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were well above state rates in every reported subject: 88% in all-grade ELA versus 56% statewide, 69% in math versus 40%, and 87% in eighth-grade science versus 52%. Most importantly, the school’s strong results extend across ELA, math, and science, rather than being concentrated in one subject.
Roselle stands out in the available comparison with the state, exceeding its proficiency rates by 32 percentage points in ELA, 29 in math, and 35 in eighth-grade science in 2025–2026. There is no second school in the list, so it is not possible to identify a top or bottom school within the area. SchoolDigger ranks Roselle 55th of 1,126 Illinois schools, in the 95th percentile with five stars; its earlier SchoolDigger ranks were 50th of 1,368 in 2024–2025 and 102nd of 1,363 in 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism was also lower than the state rate: 9% at Roselle, compared with 24% statewide, though it was 1 point above the district rate.
Scores rose between the two years provided, but the school’s advantage over the state shifted differently by subject. ELA increased 2 points at Roselle, compared with 3 statewide, narrowing its advantage by 1 point; math rose 2 points at Roselle and 1 statewide, widening the advantage by 1 point. Eighth-grade science rose 8 points at Roselle and 7 statewide, increasing its advantage by 2 points. Grade-level results add useful detail: grade 8 had the highest ELA proficiency at 96%, while grade 7 led math at 76%; the lowest results were grade 6 ELA at 85% and grade 6 math at 59%, both above state comparisons for those grades. As context, 36% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025; these figures do not explain the test results.
