Summary

Wesmere Elementary School is a public elementary school in Plainfield, Illinois, serving 570 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Plainfield School District 202, which is ranked 303 out of 811 school districts in the state.

While Wesmere Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending that is higher than the state average, the school's academic performance lags behind both the district and state averages.
