Midland Middle School consistently ranks in the top 20% of Illinois middle schools, with a ranking between 159 and 403 out of 1,300+ schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on the IAR (Illinois Assessment of Readiness) exams is impressive, with 62.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 34.4% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year. These scores are significantly higher than the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively.

The school's increasing chronic absenteeism rate and relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds may present challenges that the school should address to maintain and potentially improve its academic outcomes.
