Summary

Durand Junior High School in Durand, Illinois, serves grades 7–8 and enrolls 58 students, the smallest enrollment among the listed nearby schools. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear contrast: ELA proficiency was 66%, above the state’s 56%, while math was 26%, below the state’s 40%, and eighth-grade science was 36%, below the state’s 52%. The main takeaway is that ELA is a strength, while math—especially seventh-grade math—and eighth-grade science need attention.

ELA compares favorably across both tested grades: seventh-grade proficiency was 63% and eighth-grade was 69%, each about 6 percentage points above the state. Durand ranked fourth among nearby schools with reported results in each grade, and its seventh-grade ELA result was above the nearby-school median of 54%. Math is a weaker point: seventh-grade proficiency was 26%, 13 points below the state and 16 points below the nearby-school median of 42%; it exceeded three of seven nearby schools with reported results and trailed four. The all-grades math result was also 19 points below the 44% result in Durand CUSD 322.

ELA has rebounded from 50% in 2024–2025 to 66% in 2025–2026, close to its 66% result in 2023–2024, though its advantage over the state narrowed from 25 points to 9. Math rose from 20% to 26% in the latest year but remains 3 points below its 2023–2024 result. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile fell from 75 to 41 over those years; the latest rating is 2 stars. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 7.9, the lowest among nearby schools reporting a ratio, and 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby-school average of 49%. SchoolDigger’s measure of effectiveness for Low Socio Economic Status Students dropped from the 87th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 38th in 2024–2025, a notable decline. Durand’s small enrollment means percentages can be sensitive to a few students’ results, and its eighth-grade math result is not reported.
