Summary

Roxana Junior High School serves 393 students in grades 6–8 in Roxana, Illinois. Its clearest academic challenge is mathematics: in 2025–2026, 24% of students were proficient, compared with 40% statewide and 27% in Roxana CUSD 1. That put the school 16 points below the state and 3 points below its district, and 9 points below the 33% average among nearby schools serving the same grades with reported results.

English language arts and science are relative strengths, though performance varies by comparison. ELA proficiency was 50%—2 points above the district, 7 points below the state, and 1 point below the nearby same-grade-span average. Eighth-grade science was nearly level with the state (51.5% versus 51.9%) and 10 points above the nearby-school average of 42%. Results also show larger state gaps in math in later grades: the gap was 8 points in sixth grade and 18 points in eighth grade. Overall, ELA and science compare more favorably than math, while the school’s results are not among the local leaders.

ELA has improved over three years, rising from 35% in 2023–2024 to 50% in 2025–2026, while math rose from 19% to 24% after reaching 27% the year before. Even with the ELA gains, the school remains below the state; math’s gap to the state has widened. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 27th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, down 21 percentile points from the prior year; it was sixth among nine nearby schools with a current rank. In SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings, White students were at the 7th percentile, 20 points below the schoolwide percentile. Special education students’ ranking rose from the 25th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 49th in 2024–2025, when the overall ranking was 48. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 13.4:1, and 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible—both near the middle of nearby-school comparisons.
