Summary

Mary Miller Junior High School in Georgetown, IL, is a small school serving 192 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Georgetown-Ridge Farm CUD 4 district, where nearly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has consistently earned a 2-star rating in recent years, with a notable strength in English Language Arts (ELA)—its 45.4% proficiency rate is the second-highest among nearby schools, and 8th graders actually exceed the state average in ELA at 58.6%. However, math proficiency is a significant challenge at just 20.2%, roughly half the state average and the second-lowest in the peer group, only ahead of Chrisman-Scottland Junior High School (3.8%).

Chronic absenteeism has been a concern, with a rate of 22.1% that is the third-highest among comparable schools, but it has shown improvement from a peak of 30.6% in 2021-2022, contrasting with worsening rates at Westville Junior High School (32.9%) and North Ridge Middle School (43.1%). The school invests heavily in resources, spending $16,370 per student—the second-highest in the group—and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 12.1:1. Yet, this spending does not guarantee top academic results, as Bismarck-Henning Junior High School achieves a higher ranking (55th percentile) with similar spending ($15,831).

An interesting bright spot is the 8th grade class, which stands out as an outlier of success with ELA proficiency surpassing the state average and math proficiency (21.1%) higher than the 6th grade (15.3%), suggesting a particular cohort or teaching team is making a strong impact. Meanwhile, the school’s performance for students with disabilities has been volatile, swinging from a 60th percentile ranking in 2022-2023 to a 26th percentile in 2023-2024, then rebounding to the 51st percentile in 2024-2025, which may reflect changes in support services or small sample sizes. Overall, Mary Miller offers a supportive environment with small class sizes and strong ELA instruction, but families should be aware of the persistent math challenges and consider how the school’s resources align with their child’s needs.
