Summary:
The Palatine CCSD 15 school district in Illinois contains 15 elementary schools serving grades PK-6, with student enrollments ranging from 227 to 1,032. While the district as a whole is ranked 375 out of 813 in Illinois and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools within the district are consistently high-performing.
Hunting Ridge Elementary School and Pleasant Hill Elementary School both rank in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Hunting Ridge has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, while Pleasant Hill excels particularly in Mathematics. At the top of the district, Thomas Jefferson Elementary School is the highest-ranked, placing in the top 10% of Illinois elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating.
However, the data also reveals significant achievement gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the Palatine CCSD 15 district. Schools with higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Lake Louise Elementary and Jane Addams Elementary, tend to have lower proficiency rates on state assessments. This highlights the persistent challenge of addressing the impact of poverty on student learning and the need for targeted interventions and support across the district.
