Elementary Schools in Deerfield School District 109

Summary:

The Deerfield School District 109 in Illinois is home to four exceptional elementary schools: Wilmot Elementary School, Kipling Elementary School, Walden Elementary School, and South Park Elementary School. These schools consistently rank among the top performers in Illinois, with South Park Elementary School standing out as the highest-ranked, placing 58th out of 2,056 schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

The district's schools excel academically, with all four significantly outperforming the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Wilmot Elementary School stands out for its exceptional 5th-grade proficiency rates in both subjects. However, the district has noticed a concerning decline in proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics, from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, which warrants further investigation and intervention.

While the Deerfield School District 109 excels academically, it faces a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% across all four schools. Addressing this issue could help improve overall academic performance. The district's commitment to equitable funding is evident, with relatively consistent spending per student across the schools, ranging from $19,045 at Walden Elementary School to $20,569 at Wilmot Elementary School.
