Summary:
The middle-school data for Tolono CUSD 7 cover one school, Unity Junior High School, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolled 367 students in 2024–25. Its 2025–26 results show a clear difference by subject: all-grade ELA proficiency was 69%, compared with 56% statewide, while math proficiency was 32%, compared with 40% statewide; grade 8 science was 56%, versus 52% statewide. The most important finding is that ELA and science are above state results, but math—especially grade 8 math—is the school’s clearest concern.
There is no meaningful top-or-bottom school comparison because Unity Junior High School is the only school listed, but it stands out positively in ELA and most clearly below the state in grade 8 math. Its ELA results exceeded state results in every grade: grade 6 was 75% versus 59%, grade 7 was 62% versus 58%, and grade 8 was 70% versus 63%. Math results were near the state level in grades 6 and 7, but grade 8 was 22% versus 35%, a 13-point shortfall. Overall, the school’s ELA advantage over the state was 13 points, while its math result was 7 points lower.
ELA improved sharply in the latest year, while math changed little: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, all-grade ELA rose 15 points at Unity Junior High School, compared with a 3-point state increase; math rose 1 point, about the same as the state. Grade 8 science increased 5 points, while the state rose 7, narrowing the school’s advantage from 5 points to 4. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars; its reported statewide percentile declined from 64 in 2023–24 to 54 in 2025–26. The student-teacher ratio was 14.9 in 2024–25, and 28% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Because only one school is listed, the data do not support school-to-school comparisons.
