Roselle School District 12

Roselle School District 12 has two schools serving 707 students: Spring Hills Elementary School (pre-K–grade 5, 477 students) and Roselle Middle School (grades 6–8, 230 students). The most important finding is that in 2025–2026 both schools’ all-grades proficiency rates were substantially above the state’s in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics.

Roselle Middle stands out in ELA: its rate was 88%, compared with 79% at Spring Hills, a 10-point difference; the schools were much closer in mathematics, at 68.6% and 68.4%, respectively. Both schools’ ELA rates exceeded the state’s by 32 points at the middle school and 22 points at Spring Hills; their math rates were each about 29 points above the state. Grade-level results also show strengths: eighth-grade math at Roselle Middle was 72% versus 35% statewide, while fifth-grade math at Spring Hills was 69% versus 36%. SchoolDigger gives the district five stars and ranks it 46th of 738 Illinois districts; it places Spring Hills at the 89th percentile (four stars) and Roselle Middle at the 95th percentile (five stars). Because the schools serve different grades, their all-grades rates and grade-specific results do not provide a same-grade comparison between them.

Recent results moved in different directions: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Spring Hills’ ELA fell 3 points and math fell 4, while Roselle Middle’s ELA rose 2 points and math rose 2; state rates also increased. Science proficiency improved at both schools in their reported grades, rising 20 points in fifth grade at Spring Hills and 8 points in eighth grade at Roselle Middle. As context, 2024–2025 student–teacher ratios were 14.6 at Spring Hills and 13.6 at Roselle Middle; free/reduced lunch eligible shares that year were 30% and 36%, respectively. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 8% at Spring Hills and 9% at Roselle Middle, versus 24% statewide. These figures offer context for families, but do not establish what explains the schools’ results.
