Summary:
The city of Clarendon Hills, Illinois is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools (Holmes Elementary, Prospect Elementary, and Walker School) and 1 middle school (Clarendon Hills Middle School). These schools are part of the highly-ranked Hinsdale CCSD 181 district, which is ranked 4th out of 811 districts in Illinois.
Among the standout schools in the area, Clarendon Hills Middle School consistently ranks among the top 25 middle schools in Illinois, with a 5-star rating and exceptional test scores. Prospect Elementary School and Walker School are also highly ranked, placing in the top 20 and top 40 elementary schools in the state, respectively. These top-performing schools have maintained their strong rankings and test scores over the years.
While the district as a whole is performing exceptionally well, there are some areas for potential improvement. The chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is higher than the state average, and Holmes Elementary has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate, which may suggest equity challenges that could be further investigated. Additionally, the variation in spending per student across the schools could be an area for analysis to ensure equitable distribution of resources.
