Summary:
Long Grove has one listed middle school, Woodlawn Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 632 students. Its 2025–26 proficiency results are well above Illinois rates in every reported subject, though they are more mixed against the Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96 results: Woodlawn was 24 percentage points higher than the state in all-grade ELA, 28 points higher in math, and 35 points higher in eighth-grade science. The most important finding is that Woodlawn shows strong results compared with Illinois, but its all-grade ELA and math results trail its district.
Because Woodlawn is the only school in the list, there is no meaningful top-to-bottom comparison among Long Grove schools. Within Woodlawn’s results, eighth-grade ELA stands out at 86% proficient, while seventh-grade math is its lowest grade-subject result at 60%. That math score is still 21 points above Illinois, but 8 points below the district’s seventh-grade result; eighth-grade math is 72%, 38 points above Illinois and 1 point above the district. Across all grades, Woodlawn’s ELA is 80% versus 81% districtwide, and its math is 67% versus 73%; eighth-grade science is 86% versus 85% districtwide.
Woodlawn’s scores rose or held steady from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but the state improved faster, narrowing its lead: ELA rose by about 1 percentage point at Woodlawn versus 3 statewide, math was unchanged versus a 1-point state increase, and eighth-grade science rose 3 points versus 7 statewide. SchoolDigger rates Woodlawn 5 stars and ranks it 93rd of 1,126 Illinois schools, in the 92nd percentile; its rank was 67th of 1,363 in 2023–24 and 75th of 1,368 in 2024–25. Other context includes a 15.5 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25, 14% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2021–22, and 14% chronic absenteeism in 2025–26, compared with 12% districtwide.
