Summary

Johnsburg Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Johnsburg, Illinois, with 357 students. The school is part of the Johnsburg CUSD 12 district, which is ranked 445 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Johnsburg Elementary School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Johnsburg Elementary School has consistently performed better than the district and the state of Illinois in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 45.1% of Johnsburg Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, 41.1% of Johnsburg Elementary students were proficient or better, compared to 33.1% for the district and 38.5% for the state. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.3% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 13.6%.

Johnsburg Elementary School performs better than the nearby Harrison Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, but lags behind the higher-performing Spring Grove Elementary School, which is part of the Nippersink School District 2 and has significantly higher proficiency rates across all grades and subjects. Addressing the root causes of the chronic absenteeism issue and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools could help Johnsburg Elementary School continue to improve and better serve its students.
