Summary:
Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96 includes seven schools serving students from prekindergarten through middle school: an early learning center, five elementary schools and two middle schools. Six schools have 2025–2026 test results; Willow Grove Early Learning Center serves prekindergarten through kindergarten and has no supplied test scores. The clearest area-wide finding is that every school with results scores well above state proficiency rates, although performance varies by school, subject and grade.
Among elementary schools, Prairie Elementary School leads in all-grades English language arts (ELA) at 85%, about 6 points above the other elementary schools’ average; Kildeer Countryside Elementary School leads in math at 79%, about 3 points above the other schools’ average. Twin Groves Middle School leads the middle schools in ELA and math, at 84% and 72%, while Woodlawn Middle School is lower in those subjects but leads eighth-grade science at 86%. At the lower end, Ivy Hall Elementary School has the lowest elementary ELA result, 79%, and Country Meadows Elementary School has the lowest elementary math result, 71%; both remain well above state results.
Results generally improved from 2024–2025: across the six scored schools, average ELA rose about 4 points and math about 1 point, though changes differed by school. Country Meadows had the largest elementary gains, up 9 points in ELA and 5 in math; some other schools’ results fell in one subject. SchoolDigger gives the district five stars and ranks it 34th of 738, in the 95th percentile; listed school rankings range from the 88th to 98th percentile for the years shown. Staffing and income figures offer context, not a clear pattern: 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios range from 11.5 at Ivy Hall to 15.5 at Woodlawn, while 2021–2022 free/reduced lunch eligible rates range from 4% at Twin Groves to 18% at Country Meadows. Willow Grove has no supplied test results, and the income figures predate the test results.
