Summary:
Two schools in Yorkville CUSD 115 serve grades 4–8: Yorkville Intermediate School serves grades 4–6, and Yorkville Middle School serves grades 7–8. In 2025–2026, both schools had stronger all-grades results in English language arts (ELA) than in math, and both reported less chronic absenteeism than the state: 15% at Intermediate and 18% at Middle, compared with 24% statewide. The clearest area-wide finding is that ELA was slightly above the state result on average, while math remained below it.
The schools lead in different subjects: Middle posted the higher all-grades ELA result, at 60% versus Intermediate’s 55%, a 5-point gap; Intermediate led in math, with 36% versus Middle’s 33%, a 4-point gap. Both math results were below the state’s 40%. Grade-level results add detail: Intermediate’s fourth-grade ELA was 2 points above the state, while its fifth- and sixth-grade results were below; Middle’s seventh-grade ELA was slightly above the state, but its eighth-grade result was below. Math was below the state in every listed grade, with Middle’s largest gap in eighth grade: 27% proficient versus 35% statewide, a 7-point deficit. Science results are for different grades—fifth at Intermediate and eighth at Middle—so they are not a direct school-to-school comparison.
ELA improved at both schools from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Middle gained 5 points and Intermediate gained 5 points. Their average moved from 0.2 point below the state to 2 points above it. Math trends diverged: Intermediate rose 6 points and narrowed its state gap to 3 points, while Middle slipped slightly and fell 7 points below the state. For context, in 2024–2025 Middle had 1,152 students, a 15.4 student–teacher ratio, and 25% free/reduced lunch eligible; Intermediate had 638 students, a 12.0 ratio, and 32% free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger ranked Middle at the 43rd percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 62nd percentile the year before; it received 2 stars in the district’s SchoolDigger ranking.
