Summary

Shabbona Middle School is a public middle school located in Morris, Illinois, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 352. It is part of the Morris School District 54, which is ranked 519 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shabbona Middle School's test scores are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics, with only 27.2% of students proficient or better in IAR/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.5%. However, the school performs better in science, with 57.9% of 8th graders proficient or better in ISA/Science, higher than the state average of 45.4%. The school's performance varies across different student groups, with male students generally outperforming female students and Hispanic students outperforming White students. Interestingly, the school also performs well for English Language Learner and Special Education students, ranking in the top half of Illinois middle schools for these subgroups.

While Shabbona Middle School's overall performance is below average, the school has shown some signs of improvement over time, with its statewide ranking increasing from 827 out of 1,302 Illinois middle schools in 2014-2015 to 617 out of 1,368 in 2024-2025. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 12.3% to 26.3% over the past few years, and lower-than-average test scores, particularly in mathematics, indicate that the school could benefit from targeted interventions to address these issues and improve overall student achievement. Compared to nearby schools, such as Wilmington Middle School, Aux Sable Middle School, and Coal City Middle School, Shabbona Middle School's performance is generally lower.
