Summary:
The city of South Elgin, Illinois is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools are part of the School District U-46 and the St Charles CUSD 303 districts.
Among the 4 schools, Corron Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 213-141 elementary schools in Illinois and earning 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Corron's students significantly outperform the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, with over 70% of students meeting or exceeding proficiency standards. In contrast, Clinton Elementary School and Willard Elementary School appear to be the lower-performing schools, ranking in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools with 2-3 out of 5 stars and student proficiency rates lagging behind the state and district averages.
Fox Meadow Elementary School falls in the middle, with a 3-star rating and student performance that is generally better than the district average but still below the state-level benchmarks. Across all 4 schools, chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, with all schools reporting a rate of 25.4% for the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state average. The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the schools serving higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tending to have lower test scores and overall performance.
