Summary

Maud E Johnson Elementary School in Rockford, Illinois, serves 425 students in grades K–5 in Rockford School District 205. Its results vary by subject: math compares relatively well with nearby schools, while ELA is the clearest concern. The most important finding for families is that 27% of students were proficient in ELA in 2025–26—10 points below the nearby-school average, 8 points below the district, and 29 points below the state.

Math is a relative strength locally, though it remains below the state: 26% were proficient, 5 points above the district and 2 points above the nearby-school average, but 14 points below the state. Grade-level results show that averages hide important differences: third-grade math was 42%, the highest among nearby K–5 schools with reported results, while fourth-grade ELA was 19%, the lowest among nearby schools with reported results. Fifth-grade math also led nearby schools at 28%. Fifth-grade science was weaker, at 27%—4 points below the nearby average, 3 below the district, and 21 below the state.

Math proficiency rose by 12 points from 2023–24 to 2025–26, while ELA fell by 2 points overall and its gap with the state widened by 17 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 14th statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, down from the 39th percentile two years earlier; its district ranked at the 9th percentile with 0 stars. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14.6, among the lower ratios locally. In 2024–25, 72% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 68%; this is context for comparing schools, not an explanation of results. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 43rd percentile, 29 points above the school’s overall percentile, indicating stronger measured effectiveness for this group than for the school overall.
