Summary:
ZIP code 62988 has one middle school, Egyptian Junior High School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 69 students. With no other middle schools in the area list, there is no meaningful school-to-school leader or comparison. In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grades ELA proficiency was 36%, compared with 31% in Egyptian CUSD 5 and 56% statewide. The most important finding is that ELA improved substantially, but remains 20 percentage points below the state.
Egyptian Junior High School is both the only school to assess and the only possible standout—not a peer-group winner or trailing school. Within its 2025–2026 ELA results, grade 8 was highest at 42%, followed by grade 7 at 39% and grade 6 at 29%. Each was below its state counterpart: the gaps were 21 points in grade 8, 19 in grade 7, and 29 in grade 6, making grade 6 the largest gap. Attendance presents a more positive comparison: chronic absenteeism was 20%, below the state’s 24% and the district’s 33%. In 2024–2025, the school’s grade 8 science result was 17%, compared with 45% statewide; math was 3% versus 39%, and ELA was 8% versus 53%.
The clearest year-over-year change is the rise in all-grades ELA, from 8% in 2024–2025 to 36% in 2025–2026—an increase of 28 percentage points. The state result rose 3 points, so the school-state gap narrowed by 25 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 9th percentile (1,028 of 1,126 schools) for 2025–2026 and gives it 0 stars; its percentile was 11th in 2023–2024, fell to 1st in 2024–2025, then partially recovered. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 13.5:1, and the low-income measure was “all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility)” for 2024–2025, a program status rather than a percentage. The state suppressed 2025–2026 all-grades math and grade 8 science results; with 69 students, results may also be sensitive to small numbers of test takers.
