Summary

Roxana Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Roxana, Illinois, with 371 students. The school is part of the Roxana CUSD 1 district, which is ranked 552 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roxana Junior High School's academic performance is consistently lower than the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates of 44.8% and 26.9% respectively in 2024-2025, compared to the state's 53.1% and 38.5%. However, the school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment for 8th grade is closer to the state average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 599 and 750 out of around 1,300-1,400 Illinois middle schools over the past few years.

Roxana Junior High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school performs better for students with disabilities and low-socioeconomic status students, it struggles with white students and male students. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.8% to 27.6% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and small class sizes, its academic performance remains below the state average, indicating that simply increasing resources may not be the sole solution.
