Summary

Lakewood Creek Elementary is a public elementary school located in Montgomery, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 762. It is part of the Cusd 308 school district, which is ranked 296 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lakewood Creek Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, the school faces several key challenges. Its academic performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 384 out of 2,052 Illinois elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 1,062 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025. The school also experiences significant achievement gaps among different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students outperforming their White and English Language Learner (ELL) peers. Additionally, Lakewood Creek has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.7% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Lakewood Creek Elementary's academic performance lags behind several nearby schools, such as Old Post Elementary, Fox Chase Elementary, and Kaneland McDole Elementary, which consistently outperform Lakewood Creek in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and higher spending per student, which may contribute to their stronger academic outcomes.
