Summary

West Carroll Middle School serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 162 students in Savanna, Illinois. Its clearest academic concern is math: in 2025–26, 23% of students were proficient, 17 percentage points below the state and 11 points below the district.

ELA is a relative strength compared with the district, but results are below nearby full-span middle schools: 53% of West Carroll students were proficient, compared with 56% statewide, 51% in West Carroll CUSD 314, and an average of 73% at Morrison Junior High School, River Bend Middle School, and Stockton Middle School. Math proficiency at those three schools averaged 40%, 18 points above West Carroll. Results also vary by grade: seventh-grade ELA proficiency was 40%, 18 points below the state, while eighth-grade math was 17%, 18 points below the state. Eighth-grade ELA was stronger at 60%, just 3 points below the state.

Both subjects have improved overall since 2023–24, though results fell in 2024–25 before rebounding: ELA rose from 35% to 53%, and math from 10% to 23%. SchoolDigger’s overall standing also improved from the 18th percentile in 2024–25 to the 26th percentile and 1 star in 2025–26, but remains below the current nearby rankings of the 57th percentile for Morrison, 59th for River Bend, and 76th for Stockton. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 11.3, below the nearby-school average of 12.4; 62% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the highest reported share among those nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show notable differences in how well the school serves groups: students in the Low Socio Economic Status Students category ranked at the 53rd percentile in 2025–26, compared with 26th overall, while White Students ranked at the 8th percentile. These rankings describe the school’s standing for each group, not the students.
