Summary

North Jacksonville School serves 135 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Jacksonville, Illinois, as part of Jacksonville School District 117. Its 2025–26 results show a clear difference by subject: math proficiency is nearly level with the state, while ELA is below both the state and district. Both subjects have improved over three years, but the key takeaway is that ELA remains the school’s clearest academic concern.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 39.4% of students were proficient, nearly matching the state’s 39.6% and exceeding the district’s 33% by 6 points. That result was second-highest among the six nearby same-district K–5 schools, and 3 points above the other five schools’ average. ELA proficiency was 50%, 2 points below the district and 6 points below the state; it ranked third among those six schools and was 5 points below the other five schools’ average. Results also vary by grade: third-grade ELA was 50%, above the state’s 48%, while fifth-grade ELA was 46%, below the state’s 55%. Fourth-grade results are suppressed, so the grade-level picture is incomplete.

Scores have risen substantially: ELA increased from 19% in 2023–24 to 50% in 2025–26, while math went from 21% to 39%. The ELA gap to the state narrowed from 23 points to 6, and the math gap narrowed from 7 points to nearly zero. SchoolDigger places the school at the 38th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26; its percentile is down 17 points from 2020–21. The student-teacher ratio was 9.8 in 2024–25, among the lowest of nearby schools. In that same year, 70% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, a higher rate than the average among nearby schools with comparable data. SchoolDigger’s 2024–25 ranking suggests the school served Low Socio Economic Status Students relatively well, at the 62nd percentile compared with the school’s overall 45th percentile. Its Female Students ranking fell from the 65th percentile in 2022–23 to the 34th in 2024–25.
