Summary

John J Lukancic Middle School is a public school serving grades 6–8 in Romeoville, in the Valley View CUSD 365U area, with 591 students. Its clearest academic pattern is a strong showing in English language arts (ELA) alongside weaker math and science results: ELA proficiency is well above state and district levels, while math is below both.

ELA is Lukancic’s strongest subject compared with the state and district: 73% of students are proficient, versus 56% statewide and 63% districtwide, a lead of 17 and 10 percentage points. But the result is just below the nearby-school average, and Lukancic ranks sixth among the 11 schools in the comparison. Math is the clearest local weakness: 36% are proficient, compared with 40% in both the state and district and a 47% nearby-school average; only two of the 10 nearby schools score lower. Eighth-grade science is also below the state, district, and nearby-school averages: 46% versus 52%, 48%, and 59%, respectively.

Scores have improved since 2023–2024: ELA rose from 63% to 73%, and math from 31% to 36%. Yet SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 77th percentile to the 56th percentile, showing that improving scores can coincide with a lower relative rank; Lukancic has 3 stars for 2025–2026. Its student-teacher ratio is 12.4 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 12.0. In that same school year, 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 41%. SchoolDigger’s statewide group rankings show notably different results: African American Students rank at the 93rd percentile for how well the school serves that group, while Special Education Students rank at the 35th percentile, down from the 77th percentile in 2023–2024.
