Cusd 300

The Cusd 300 school district in Illinois encompasses 27 schools, including 19 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse range of communities and socioeconomic backgrounds, with some standout high-performing schools as well as lower-performing schools that face significant challenges.

At the high-performing end of the spectrum, Harry D Jacobs High School and Hampshire High School are ranked among the top 125 and 138 high schools in Illinois, respectively, with impressive 4-year graduation rates over 96%. Similarly, elementary schools like Westfield Community School, Gilberts Elementary School, and Eastview Elementary School are standouts, ranking in the top 500 elementary schools in the state.

On the other hand, some schools in the district, such as Carpentersville Middle School, Meadowdale Elementary School, and Perry Elementary School, struggle with extremely low proficiency rates, often less than half the district and state averages. These schools also face challenges with high chronic absenteeism and a strong correlation between low socioeconomic status and poor academic performance. Addressing these inequities and providing additional support to the lower-performing schools will be crucial for the Cusd 300 district to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
