Summary:

Cook County School District 130 includes 10 schools—seven elementary and three middle schools—in Cook County. In 2025–2026, their average all-grades proficiency was 38% in English language arts (ELA), compared with 56% statewide, and 23% in math, compared with 40% statewide. The school averages fell by about 1 point in ELA and 2 points in math from the prior year, while state results rose by about 3 and 1 points, respectively. The most important takeaway is that the group’s average gap with the state widened in both subjects.

Results vary considerably by school. Nathan Hale Intermediate had the strongest all-grades ELA result at 55%—19 points above the other nine schools’ average, but 1 point below the state. At the low end, Paul Revere Primary scored 15% in ELA, 25 points below the other schools’ average. Nathan Hale Primary led in all-grades math at 40%, about 1 point above the state; Paul Revere Intermediate was lowest at 13%. Grade-level results add important exceptions: Nathan Hale Intermediate led listed fifth-grade schools in ELA, at 62%, while Everett F. Kerr Middle led eighth-grade ELA at 69%, above the state’s 63%. Because schools serve different grades, all-grades comparisons are not fully like-for-like.

School-level changes were mixed: ELA improved at seven schools but fell at three, including declines of 16 points at Lincoln Elementary and 23 points at Paul Revere Primary. Math also rose at seven schools, while Lincoln fell 36 points; excluding Lincoln, the other nine schools’ math average rose by 2 points. Science improved at all eight schools with comparable results. Other measures offer context, not explanations: 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures ranged from 65% at Nathan Hale Middle to 84% at Paul Revere Primary, and student-teacher ratios ranged from 10.3 at Everett F. Kerr to 16 at Paul Revere Intermediate. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking for Nathan Hale Intermediate rose from 27th to 35th between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, while Paul Revere Intermediate’s fell from 32nd to 7th.
