Summary

Thomas Jefferson Junior High School serves 573 students in grades 7–8 in suburban Woodridge, Illinois, and is part of Woodridge School District 68. Its clearest strength is English language arts (ELA), but eighth-grade science is the most important concern: only 48% of students were proficient, placing the school 10th among 11 nearby schools.

ELA is a standout compared with the district, state and nearby schools: 84% were proficient, versus 73% districtwide and 56% statewide, and the school ranked fourth of 11 nearby schools. Math was also above district and state rates—58%, compared with 54% and 40%—but its local advantage was modest: it ranked fifth of 11 and was just 1 percentage point above the nearby-school average. Science presents a sharper contrast: the school’s 48% proficiency rate was below the state’s 52%, equal to the district, and about 21 points below the nearby-school average.

Scores have risen in ELA and math: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, ELA improved by 12 percentage points and math by 15, while science fell by 12 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 78th percentile statewide and gives it four stars in 2025–26; its percentile has declined from 89 in 2023–24 despite the recent ELA and math gains. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 10.9, below the nearby-school average of 12.5. Also in 2024–25, 45% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, one of the higher shares among nearby schools; this is context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for African American students fell from the 95th percentile in 2024–25 to the 59th in 2025–26, below the school’s overall 78th-percentile standing.
