Summary

Floyd Henson Junior High School is a public middle school in Flora, Illinois, serving 311 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Flora CUSD 35 district and has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, currently rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

One of the school's key strengths is its academic performance, consistently outpacing the state and district averages in English Language Arts and mathematics proficiency. In 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 79%, compared to 53.1% for the state, and its mathematics proficiency rate was 53.2%, compared to 38.5% for the state. However, the school's performance in science lags behind the state average. The school also excels in supporting low-socioeconomic status and homeless students, ranking among the top Illinois middle schools in these subgroups, but its performance for special education and disabled students is more mixed.

Compared to nearby Cisne Middle School and Clay City Junior High School, Floyd Henson Junior High School stands out for its stronger academic performance, particularly in core subjects. However, the school, along with its neighbors, faces a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, which is an area that requires immediate attention from the school and the Flora CUSD 35 district.
