Summary

Madison Junior High School serves 566 students in grades 6–8 in Naperville, a suburban community west of Chicago. In 2025–2026, its students scored well above Illinois averages in ELA, math and eighth-grade science. The clearest takeaway is that Madison delivers strong results statewide, with especially strong math performance: 67% were proficient, compared with 40% statewide.

Compared with nearby schools and its district, Madison’s strengths and weaker spots differ by subject. Its all-grade math result was 13 percentage points above the average for eight nearby grade 6–8 schools, ranking fourth among those schools and Madison; it was also 27 points above the state result. However, Madison’s 67% was 5 points below Naperville CUSD 203. ELA was Madison’s best subject relative to the district: 83% were proficient, just above the district’s 82%, and Madison ranked fourth among nine comparable nearby schools. Eighth-grade science was 77%, 3 points below the district but 25 points above the state; Madison ranked fifth among 11 nearby schools with eighth-grade results. Within the school, seventh-grade ELA was a relative soft spot at 79%, below the district’s 82%.

Results have improved over time, though the gap over the state has not narrowed steadily. From 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, ELA rose from 78% to 83%, and math from 56% to 67%. SchoolDigger placed Madison at the 92nd percentile statewide, with 5 stars, ranking 85th of 1,126 schools; it was fifth among Madison and 10 nearby schools. Some group rankings are notably lower: SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Madison serves Asian students fell from the 79th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 53rd in 2025–2026. For students receiving special education, its ranking dropped from the 93rd percentile to the 56th over that period. As context, Madison’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 12.8, and 16% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these are observations, not explanations for its results.
