Summary

Thomas Dooley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Schaumburg, Illinois, serving around 450 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district, which is ranked 205 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thomas Dooley Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Illinois, with students performing exceptionally well on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, 86.1% of students were proficient or better in ELA, and 78.2% were proficient or better in Math, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly strong in certain student subgroups, such as male students, multi-racial students, and English Language Learners. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.6% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the district average.

When compared to nearby schools in the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district, Campanelli Elementary and Hoover Math and Science Academy also demonstrate strong academic performance, but generally lag behind Thomas Dooley Elementary in overall rankings and test scores. The higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Thomas Dooley may be contributing to its exceptional academic performance, but the district should continue to monitor the effectiveness of this approach and address the attendance challenges faced by the school.
