Summary

Oak Prairie Junior High School serves 460 students in grades 6–8 in Homer Glen, Illinois. Its clearest strength is English language arts (ELA): in 2025–26, 82% of students were proficient, well above the state and district results. Math is less strong compared with its district, although it remains above state and nearby-school averages. Overall, Oak Prairie’s standout finding is its strong ELA performance.

Oak Prairie’s ELA result was 7 percentage points above Will County School District 92 and 26 points above the state. Its 53% math proficiency was 3 points below the district, but 13 points above the state. Among five nearby schools serving grades 6–8 with comparable results, Oak Prairie was also ahead of the average in both ELA—82% versus 71%—and math—53% versus 42%. Eighth-grade science proficiency was 61%, close to the middle of nearby results. Taken together, ELA is Oak Prairie’s strongest subject; math is the clearest area to watch in comparison with its district.

Math proficiency has improved, rising from 36% in 2023–24 to 50% in 2024–25 and 53% in 2025–26, a 17-point increase. ELA results have moved up and down, while its lead over the state narrowed from 40 points to 26, and its district lead narrowed from 11 points to 7. SchoolDigger ranked Oak Prairie at the 81st statewide percentile and gave it 4 stars in 2025–26; its percentile fell from 90 the prior year. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 10.6, and 29% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for students receiving special education was at the 50th percentile in 2025–26, down from 78 in 2023–24, notably below the school’s overall 81st percentile. Its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 96th percentile in 2024–25 to the 71st in 2025–26. The science figures are not a like-for-like comparison across years, so they do not establish a trend.
