SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,126 Illinois Middle Schools

Better than 3% of Illinois middle schools

Summary

Magee Middle School serves 642 students in grades 6–8 in Round Lake, Illinois, and is part of Round Lake CUSD 116. In 2025–2026, 26% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 13% in math, and 31% in eighth-grade science, compared with Illinois rates of 56%, 40%, and 52%. The most important finding is that achievement is well below the state in every reported subject.

Compared with nearby schools, sixth grade is a relative bright spot: Magee’s ELA and math results were each second-lowest among schools with results for those grades. Results were weaker in seventh and eighth grades: Magee was below every nearby school with reported results in seventh-grade ELA and math, and lowest or lowest among reported results in eighth-grade ELA and math. Magee’s all-grades ELA and math results were close to the district’s, but slightly lower: 26.2% versus 26.9% in ELA and 12.8% versus 13.2% in math. Eighth-grade science was 31%, compared with 35% in the district and 52% statewide.

Scores have risen since 2023–2024, but not as quickly as state scores: Magee’s ELA increased from 17% to 26% and math from 7% to 13%, while state results rose from 41% to 56% in ELA and from 28% to 40% in math. As a result, Magee’s gaps with the state widened by 6 points in ELA and 5 points in math. SchoolDigger places Magee in the 3rd percentile, with 0 stars and a rank of 1,087 out of 1,126 schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 10.1, below the nearby-school average of 12.7; 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger also showed a notable past relative strength for Disabled Students: the school ranked at the 28th percentile for this group in 2022–2023, compared with its overall 11th percentile, though the gap did not persist at the same level in later years.
