Summary

Egyptian Junior High School is a public school in Tamms, Illinois, serving grades 6–8 with 69 students. Its latest all-grade ELA proficiency was 36% in 2025–26, a sharp improvement from the prior year, but still 20 percentage points below Illinois; that gap to the state is the most important takeaway.

ELA is a relative strength: the school was 6 points above Egyptian CUSD 5, and its result was between those of nearby Shawnee Junior High School (54%) and Dongola Junior High School (24%). Its 2024–25 math result was much weaker: 3%, compared with 39% statewide and 5% in its district. Eighth-grade science was 17%, 29 points below the state and equal to the district. The school’s 2025–26 math and eighth-grade science results are suppressed, so its current standing in those subjects cannot be assessed.

ELA has rebounded after a low point, rising from 19% in 2023–24 to 8% in 2024–25 and 36% in 2025–26; the latest increase was 28 points. SchoolDigger places the school at the 9th percentile with 0 stars, up from the 1st percentile the year before, but below nearby Anna Junior High School (45th percentile, 2 stars) and Shawnee (47th percentile, 2 stars). In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 13.5, below the nearby-school average of 14.1. The school’s 2024–25 low-income measure was Community Eligibility (CEP): all students receive free meals. Historically, SchoolDigger ranked the school’s service to students receiving special education at the 54th percentile in 2018–19, compared with the school’s overall 24th percentile; by 2020–21, the subgroup was at the 14th percentile and the school overall at the 11th.
