Summary

Still Middle School serves 709 students in grades 6–8 in Aurora, in Indian Prairie CUSD 204. Its 2025–2026 results are strong across English language arts (ELA), math and eighth-grade science, with proficiency above state rates in all three. The clearest advantage over nearby schools is math: 62% of students were proficient, 14 percentage points above the nearby-school average.

Still is a strong local performer, though not the top scorer. Its math proficiency was 23 points above the state rate and essentially level with the district rate, just 0.2 points lower. ELA proficiency was 77%—21 points above the state, 3 above the district and 10 above the nearby average. Eighth-grade science was 74%, 22 points above the state and essentially level with the district; it ranked fifth among the 11 nearby schools. Within the school, math results were highest in grade 6 at 65%, the best among the six Indian Prairie middle schools in the data, and lowest in grade 8 at 59%, 2 points below the district comparison.

Still’s results have risen since 2023–2024, but the state has improved faster: ELA increased 6 percentage points at Still versus 15 statewide, and math rose 6 points versus 11 statewide. SchoolDigger rates Still in the 88th statewide percentile with 4 stars, down from the 92nd percentile in 2022–2023; three nearby schools are at the 94th percentile. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 51st percentile in 2025–2026, compared with Still’s overall 88th percentile, down from 86th in 2023–2024. Its Special Education Students ranking was at the 36th percentile, down from 83rd the prior year; the comparison pool changed notably, so interpret that shift cautiously. Context for families: the student-teacher ratio was 13.0 in 2024–2025, tied for the lowest among nearby schools, and 19% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby-school average of 32%.
