Summary:

The St Elmo Junior High School is the sole middle school serving the St Elmo CUSD 202 district in Illinois. With a small student population of 57, the school faces some challenges in academic performance, but also demonstrates strengths in certain areas.

St Elmo Junior High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 715 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools in 2024-2025 to 1,065 out of 1,363 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with stronger results in English Language Arts (ELA) than in Mathematics.

However, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate in 2024-2025 was higher than the state average.

The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 70.18% in 2023-2024.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025 is a potential area of concern that may impact student learning and academic outcomes.
