Summary

Naper Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 10-20% of Illinois elementary schools, with students performing exceptionally well on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, 78.7% of students were proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outperforming the state averages. The school's performance is also consistently higher than the Naperville CUSD 203 district averages, indicating it is a top performer within the district. Additionally, the school has a strong track record in serving its special education students, ranking 19th out of 1,194 Illinois elementary schools in the 2018-2019 school year for this subgroup.

While Naper Elementary School is an exceptional institution, the recent increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 9.0% in 2021-2022 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, is a concern that the school and district should address. Compared to nearby schools within the Naperville CUSD 203 district, such as Ellsworth Elementary and Highlands Elementary, Naper Elementary has higher academic performance. However, some schools in the neighboring Indian Prairie CUSD 204 district, such as May Watts Elementary and Owen Elementary, have lower academic performance compared to Naper Elementary.
