Summary

Johnsburg Elementary School serves 386 students in grades 3–5 in Johnsburg, Illinois, and is part of Johnsburg CUSD 12. The most important concern is fourth-grade math: 23% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, 19 percentage points below Illinois and the lowest result among seven nearby schools with reported scores.

Fifth grade is a relative bright spot: ELA proficiency was 60%, 6 points above the state, and science was 52%, 5 points above; both results ranked second among nearby schools with scores. Fifth-grade math was less strong at 30%, below the state’s 36%. Overall, the school’s 2025–2026 ELA proficiency was 52%, 5 points below the district and 4 points below the state. Math was 32%, 2 points below the district and 8 below the state. Chronic absenteeism was comparatively low at 11%, versus 13% in the district and 24% statewide.

ELA proficiency has risen steadily, from 32% in 2023–2024 to 52% in 2025–2026, while math fell from 41% to 32% in the latest year. SchoolDigger’s school ranking also declined, from the 61st percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024 to the 37th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. Its group-specific rankings show weaker recent standing for girls and White students: girls ranked in the 18th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 60th two years earlier, while White students ranked in the 11th percentile, down from the 36th. These are SchoolDigger rankings of performance for each group, not judgments about individual students. In 2024–2025, 35% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 14.4, the second-highest among the listed nearby schools.
