Summary

Brookdale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Naperville, Illinois, serving 457 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Indian Prairie CUSD 204 district, which is ranked 145 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brookdale Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, Brookdale's proficiency rates in ELA (68.7%) and Math (67.5%) were significantly higher than the state averages (53.1% and 38.5%, respectively). The school's 5th-grade students outperformed the district and state in ELA, Math, and Science proficiency. Brookdale has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.9 and per-student spending of $14,213, indicating a strong investment in resources.

While Brookdale's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby schools within the Indian Prairie CUSD 204 district, some schools in the neighboring Naperville CUSD 203 district, such as Ellsworth Elementary and Highlands Elementary, outperform Brookdale in both academic achievement and student-teacher ratio. However, Brookdale has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.8% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is an area the school and district may need to address.
