Summary:
ZIP code 60133 has one middle school, Spring Wood Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 420 students. Since it is the only school in the list, there is no meaningful comparison among local schools. In 2025–26, Spring Wood’s all-grade IAR proficiency was 39% in English language arts (ELA) and 22% in math, compared with 56% and 40% statewide. The most important finding is that results were about 17 percentage points below state figures in both subjects.
Spring Wood’s clearest positive standout is its eighth-grade science improvement, while ELA and math are the main concerns. The eighth-grade ISA science score rose from 28% in 2024–25 to 45% in 2025–26, a gain of 17 points; it remained 7 points below the state in the latest year. Grade-level results show sixth grade closest to the state: its ELA score was 45% versus 59%, and math was 27% versus 36%. Seventh-grade ELA stands out as the largest shortfall, at 31% versus 58%, a gap of 27 points. Because this is the only school listed, it is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in the local set by default.
Overall ELA and math performance did not show the same improvement as science: the school’s average across the two subjects stayed at 31% from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while the state average rose from 46% to 48%. SchoolDigger’s ranking also moved down, from the 37th percentile in 2023–24 to the 16th percentile in 2025–26; the latest rating is one star. Attendance is a more favorable comparison: chronic absenteeism was 21% in 2025–26, below the 24% state and 22% district figures for Keeneyville School District 20. Context figures include a 10.4:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 57% free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. These measures describe the school but do not establish what explains its results.
