Summary

Summit Hill Junior High School in Frankfort, Illinois, serves 566 students in grades 7–8. In 2025–2026, students scored above state proficiency rates in ELA, math and eighth-grade science. The most important finding is that the school remains above the state, but its ELA and math results have fallen from their 2024–2025 highs.

Among nearby schools, Summit Hill’s strongest comparison is eighth-grade math: 56% proficiency placed it third among eight schools with results, behind Mokena Junior High School and Virgil I Grissom Middle School. Its eighth-grade science result was also strong at 60%, third among eight nearby schools and above the state’s 52%; only Mokena and Grissom scored higher. ELA results were more middle-of-the-pack: fourth among nearby schools in seventh grade and fifth in eighth. All-grades ELA and math were above state rates—71% versus 56% and 52% versus 40%—but below the district’s 72% and 58%. For grades 7–8, the school’s grade-specific results matched those reported for Summit Hill School District 161. The district-wide totals include other grades, so the grade-specific comparison is more relevant to Summit Hill families.

Results have eased since 2024–2025: ELA moved from 76% to 71%, and math from 61% to 52%, though both remain above their 2023–2024 levels. SchoolDigger gives Summit Hill 4 stars and a 72nd statewide percentile for 2025–2026; it ranks fourth among nine nearby schools with reported rankings, down 16 percentile points from the prior year. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking is notably lower, at the 23rd percentile compared with 72 overall, after ranking at the 87th percentile in each of the two previous years. The school’s 10.8 students per teacher in 2024–2025 was the second-lowest reported nearby ratio, and 21% were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Science lacks a consistent year-by-year series, and subgroup ranking pools changed in size, so those trends should be read cautiously.
