Best Public Schools in Gilberts, IL

Summary:

The city of Gilberts, Illinois is home to a single public elementary school, Gilberts Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 706 students. The school is part of the Community Unit School District 300 (CUSD 300), which is ranked 433 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Gilberts Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong performer compared to the district and state averages, based on the available test score data. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had higher proficiency rates than the district and state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for all grade levels. This is particularly notable in 3rd and 5th grade ELA, where Gilberts Elementary outperformed the district and state by a significant margin. The school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate in 2024-2025 was also higher than the district and state averages.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025 is higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern and potential focus for improvement. Despite this, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.8 to 1 and higher-than-average spending per student of $14,491 in 2023-2024 suggest that students may be receiving more individualized attention and support, which could contribute to the school's strong academic performance.
