Summary:
Lemmon Junior High - 06 is the only middle school in Lemmon School District 52-4, serving grades 6–8. In 2025–26, its all-grades English language arts (ELA) proficiency was 51%, slightly above the state’s 49%, while mathematics proficiency was 32%, 12 points below the state’s 44%. The most important finding is that the school’s overall mathematics result is substantially below the state, despite a strong result in seventh grade.
Seventh grade stands out: ELA proficiency was 71%, 18 points above the state, and mathematics was 57%, 13 points above. Results were lower in sixth and eighth grades, and both grades fell below state levels in ELA and math. The largest gap was sixth-grade math, at 22% compared with 42% statewide, 20 points lower; eighth-grade science was also low at 23%, 18 points below the state’s 41%. All-grades results were below district figures too: ELA was 51% versus 58%, and math was 32% versus 44%. Because the area list has just one school, there are no school-to-school comparisons.
Results weakened in the latest reported year: all-grades ELA fell from 60% in 2024–25 to 51% in 2025–26, while the school’s advantage over the state narrowed from 9 points to 2. Math declined from 42% to 32%, and its shortfall against the state widened by 10 points.
