Summary

Jay Stream Middle School in Carol Stream serves 572 students in grades 6–8, in an area with several nearby middle schools. Its 2025–26 results show a clear difference between subjects: ELA proficiency was 62%, above state and district levels, while math proficiency was 30%, below both. The most important concern is math: Jay Stream scored below all six nearby schools serving the same grades, and its eighth-grade math result was just 21%.

ELA is a relative strength against state and district benchmarks, but Jay Stream trails most nearby grade 6–8 schools: its 62% proficiency rate was 6 percentage points above the state and 4 above the district, yet it was higher than only two of the six nearby schools. Math was 10 points below the state and 8 below the district, and its eighth-grade result was 14 points below the state. Eighth-grade science was close to state and district results—51% at Jay Stream compared with about 52% for each—but only one nearby school scored lower.

Results over time are mixed: ELA rose from 51% in 2023–24 to 62% in 2025–26, while math ended at 30%, only 2 points above its 2023–24 result and 4 points below the prior year. Over that period, the math gap with the state widened by 9 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also fell from the 69th percentile in 2023–24 to the 43rd percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26. Context measures include a 9.9:1 student-teacher ratio and 42% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Asian students was at the 5th percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 43rd percentile; its Special Education Students ranking was at the 18th percentile, down from the 75th in 2023–24.
