Summary

John E Albright Middle School in Villa Park, Illinois, serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 183 students in Salt Creek School District 48. It is a small school compared with nearby middle schools, which enroll 163 to 935 students. The most important finding for families is that the school’s 2025–26 proficiency results were above Illinois state results in all three reported subjects.

English language arts (ELA) is the school’s strongest subject relative to its district: 82% of students were proficient, 8 points above the district and 26 points above the state. Math proficiency was 58%, 1 point above the district and 19 points above the state; eighth-grade science was 68%, equal to the district and 16 points above the state. Compared with nearby schools, the school’s ELA, math and science results were each seventh-highest among 11 schools, though all were above the nearby-school averages of 68%, 51% and 62%, respectively. Sixth-grade math stands out within the school at 68% proficient, compared with 51% in eighth grade. Overall, the school performs well, but it is not a local test-score leader.

Results have improved: since 2023–24, ELA proficiency rose 25 points to 82%, and math rose 26 points to 58%. SchoolDigger ranks the school 151st of 1,126 Illinois schools, at the 87th percentile with four stars; its percentile rose 10 points since 2022–23. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 9.9, second-lowest among nearby schools, and 47% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for how well the school serves Hispanic students climbed from the 50th percentile in 2022–23 to the 92nd in 2024–25. One area to watch is chronic absenteeism: it rose 5 points to 17% in 2025–26, below the state’s 24% but above the district’s 14%.
