Roxana Junior High School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and it has a low student-teacher ratio, suggesting a focus on resource allocation and smaller class sizes. Despite these investments, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 599 to 750 out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the data provides a mixed picture of Roxana Junior High School's performance, the lower proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics, especially in the lower grades, suggest that the school may need to focus on strengthening its curriculum and instructional practices in these areas. The school's socioeconomic challenges may also be impacting academic outcomes, and the district may need to explore additional strategies to support student learning and improve the school's overall performance.
