Summary:
Stark County CUSD 100 district has only one middle school, Stark County Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 141 students. While the school has access to relatively high per-student spending, its academic performance has declined over the past three years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling below state averages.
Stark County Junior High School's statewide ranking has dropped from 501 out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 761 out of 1,368 in 2024-2025, and its performance rating has decreased from 3 out of 5 stars to 2 out of 5 stars during the same period. The school's proficiency rates in ELA (45.3%), Mathematics (24.3%), and 8th grade Science (39.6%) are all lower than the state averages of 53.1%, 38.5%, and 45.4%, respectively.
However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1 is lower than the state average, and the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (48.94% in 2023-2024) suggests the school serves a population with relatively low socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. Addressing these issues and implementing targeted interventions could help Stark County CUSD 100 improve student outcomes at Stark County Junior High School.
