Summary:

Cicero School District 99 includes 14 schools—11 elementary and 3 middle schools—with 2025–26 test results listed for 13. Across those 13 schools, the average all-grades proficiency rate was 34% in English language arts (ELA) and 25% in mathematics, compared with state rates of 56% and 40%. The district’s SchoolDigger rating is 0 stars, ranked 711th of 738 districts, in the 4th percentile. The most important area-wide finding is that proficiency averages are well below state rates in both subjects.

Results differ considerably by school, and the strongest school changes by subject. Abe Lincoln Elementary School led all-grades ELA at 46%, while Cicero West Elementary School was lowest at 20%, a 26-point spread; every school was below the state in ELA. In mathematics, Liberty Elementary School led at 39%, nearly matching the state’s 39.6%, while Woodrow Wilson Elementary School was lowest at 16%, a 23-point spread. For fifth-grade science, Abe Lincoln Elementary School led reporting schools at 44%, and Woodrow Wilson Elementary School was lowest at 16%; even the leader was below the 48% state rate.

Recent changes offer a mixed picture: the average ELA result rose 1 point from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but the state rate rose 3 points, so the area fell further behind; mathematics declined 3 points while the state improved 1 point, widening that gap by about 4 points. ELA rose at nine schools and fell at four, including declines of 7 points at Cicero West Elementary School and Columbus West Elementary School. SchoolDigger’s school rankings also show lower percentiles over the longer term at several schools: Sherlock Elementary School fell from the 37th to the 8th percentile, while Abe Lincoln Elementary School went from the 39th to the 26th. Among three similar-span schools, third-grade math ranged from 20% at Cicero West Elementary School to 39% at Liberty Elementary School; their free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25 ranged from 57% to 91%, a context that does not neatly track results. School grade spans differ, so all-grades results are not perfectly like-for-like.
