Summary

Rockridge Junior High School is a public middle school located in Taylor Ridge, Illinois, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 247 students. The school is part of the Rockridge CUSD 300 district, which is ranked 313 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rockridge Junior High School has consistently performed in the middle range of Illinois middle schools, with its ranking and performance on state assessments remaining relatively stable over the past several years. The school's strong performance in 8th grade science and 7th grade English Language Arts, where it outperformed the state averages, indicates potential areas of curricular strength and effective teaching practices that could be leveraged to improve performance in other subject areas and grade levels. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.8% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to the nearby middle schools, such as Sherrard Junior High School and Edison Junior High School, Rockridge Junior High School generally performs in the middle range, with some schools outperforming it on certain metrics, while others underperform. This suggests that Rockridge Junior High School is providing a relatively typical educational experience for its students compared to its regional peers. The school and district should focus on strategies to improve student engagement and attendance, while also exploring ways to leverage the school's curricular strengths to drive broader academic improvements.
