St. Joseph Middle School has seen steady improvement in its rankings over the past three years, moving from 99th in 2023-2024 to 57th in 2024-2025 among Illinois middle schools. The school's strong focus on STEM education is evident in its high science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th-grade students.
