Summary:
The city of Fox River Grove, Illinois is home to two schools: Algonquin Road Elementary School and Fox River Grove Middle School, both part of the Fox River Grove Cons School District 3. Algonquin Road Elementary consistently performs well, ranking in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. In contrast, Fox River Grove Middle School has shown improvement, rising from 897 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools in 2023-2024 to 514 out of 1,368 in 2024-2025, but still lags behind in Math performance, particularly in the upper grades.
Both schools face the challenge of higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with Algonquin Road Elementary having a higher percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients compared to Fox River Grove Middle School. However, the middle school has a higher per-student spending, which may indicate a focus on resource allocation to support its improvement efforts.
