In 2025–2026, both reported IAR results in English language arts (ELA) and math, along with chronic absenteeism below the state rate. Their scores show strengths in both subjects, with stronger results compared with state benchmarks in ELA. Most notably, every reported grade-level ELA and math result at both schools was above its matching state result.
Minooka Junior High had the higher All Grades results in 2025–2026: 70% in ELA and 44% in math, compared with 64% and 39% at Minooka Intermediate—gaps of 7 and 5 percentage points. Against the state’s All Grades results, Junior High was 14 points higher in ELA and 4 points higher in math; Intermediate was 7 points higher in ELA and less than a point lower in math. By grade, Junior High’s largest advantage was grade 7 ELA, 17 points above the state, while Intermediate’s largest was grade 6 ELA, 10 points above.

Intermediate ELA increased 2 points, while math fell 3 points; its latest math result was just below the state figure despite both grade-level math results being above their state comparisons.
