Summary:

Crystal Lake CCSD 47 has 12 schools: nine elementary schools serving K–5 and three middle schools serving grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, the elementary average was 59% proficient in ELA and 48% in math; middle schools averaged 66% in ELA and 40% in math. The clearest takeaway is that elementary results vary considerably: scores span 31 points in ELA, 26 points in math and 42 points in grade 5 science.

South Elementary School leads elementary schools in both all-grade ELA (69%) and math (58%), ahead of the next-highest schools by 2 and 4 points, respectively. It also scores 13 points above the state in ELA and 19 points above in math. At the other end, Canterbury Elementary School is lowest in both subjects, at 37% in ELA and 32% in math—11 and 2 points below the next-lowest school. In grade 5 science, Husmann Elementary School leads at 74%, while Canterbury is at 31%. Middle-school ELA scores cluster around 66%; Hannah Beardsley Middle School leads math at 44%, while Richard F Bernotas Middle School is lowest at 36%.

Middle-school averages rose notably from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA increased 11 points and math 8, compared with state gains of 3 and 1 points. Elementary averages rose 2 points in ELA and 3 in math, but Glacier Ridge Elementary School fell 1 point in ELA and 5 in math, while West Elementary School gained 8 points in math as its ELA slipped 1. SchoolDigger ranks South at the 74th percentile with four stars and Canterbury at the 18th percentile with one star. For context, their free/reduced lunch eligible (FRL) shares for 2024–2025 were 27% at South and 55% at Canterbury; these figures describe school context, not the cause of results. Middle-school results also differ by subject: Bernotas has the highest ELA score but the lowest math score, despite having the group’s lowest FRL-eligible share, 28%.
