Summary

Stark County Junior High School serves 140 students in grades 6–8 in Toulon, in Stark County, Illinois. Its clearest academic concern is mathematics: in 2025–2026, 22% of students were proficient, compared with 40% statewide and 23% in Stark County CUSD 100. That leaves the school 17 percentage points below the state and 1 point below its district. Math remains the most important finding because the school’s recent gains have not closed its substantial gap with the state.

Eighth-grade science is the school’s strongest result against the state: 62% were proficient, versus 52% statewide, and the district also scored 62%. However, nearby schools Williamsfield Middle School, Dunlap Valley Middle School, and Dunlap Middle School scored 81%, 80%, and 79%, respectively; Central Junior High scored 48%. ELA has improved, but remains just below the state: 55% proficient compared with 56%, while the district was at 46%. Locally, Stark had the lowest reported ELA result at each grade: 51% in sixth grade, 54% in seventh, and 62% in eighth, compared with nearby results starting at 71%, 63%, and 74%, respectively.

SchoolDigger gives the school 2 stars and a 38th-percentile statewide ranking for 2025–2026, down 13 percentile points from 2023–2024 and below all five nearby schools with rank histories, whose percentiles range from 44 to 95. Its 11.2 students per teacher in 2024–2025 was below the nearby-school average of 12.7, but that comparatively low ratio has not coincided with stronger local test results. As context, 56% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 51%. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness rankings also raise a question about results for students receiving special education and disabled students: in 2024–2025, their rankings were at the 24th and 27th percentiles, respectively, versus the school’s overall 44th percentile; each group’s ranking had fallen by 50 points from 2022–2023.
