Summary:
Roxana CUSD 1 has one middle school, Roxana Junior High School, serving grades 6–8, with 393 students. With no other middle schools in the area, families can compare its results with district and state figures, but not with a local school-to-school leader or trailer. The main concern is math: in 2025–2026, 24% of students were proficient, compared with 40% statewide and 27% districtwide, leaving the school 16 points below the state.
There is no within-area top or bottom school; Roxana Junior High School is the only one listed. Its strongest state comparison was eighth-grade science, at 51.5% versus 51.9% statewide—less than a point apart. ELA proficiency was 50%, 7 points below the state’s 56%. Results vary by grade: the ELA gap was 2 points in grade 6, but 13 points in grade 7 and 15 points in grade 8. Math was below the state in every grade, with the widest gap in grade 8: 17% versus 35%, or 18 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 825th of 1,126 Illinois schools, in the 27th percentile, and gave it 1 star.
Recent results show ELA improving while math fell: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 5 points, from 45% to 50%, and its state gap narrowed from 8 points to 7; math dropped 3 points, from 27% to 24%, and its state gap widened from 12 points to 16. Eighth-grade science rose 6 points, from 45% to 52%, while staying less than a point below the state in both years. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking fell from 48 in 2024–2025 to 27 in 2025–2026, even as ELA improved; the ranking and test results are separate measures. Other context: the student-teacher ratio was 13.4 in 2024–2025, and 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025.
