Summary:

La Grange School District 105 South includes five schools—four elementary schools and one middle school—serving students across elementary and middle grades. The 2025–2026 results show the elementary schools’ simple average was 77% in ELA and 62% in math, above the state results of 56% and 40%. The most important finding is that results vary widely by school: elementary ELA spans 34 percentage points and math spans 43.

Seventh Ave Elementary School and Spring Ave Elementary School stand out, with different subject strengths: Seventh Ave led elementary ELA at 93%, just above Spring Ave’s 92%, while Spring Ave led math at 83%, compared with Seventh Ave’s 76%. At the lower end, Hodgkins Elementary School had the lowest ELA result at 59%, while Ideal Elementary School had the lowest math result at 39%; Hodgkins’ math was 50% and Ideal’s ELA was 64%. Wm F Gurrie Middle School scored 79% in ELA and 60% in math, above state results in both subjects. In 5th-grade science, Seventh Ave led the schools with a reported result at 69%, while Ideal recorded 43%.

ELA improved at all five schools from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the average gain was 8 percentage points, versus 3 points statewide. Math was less consistent: three schools improved and two declined, though the five-school average rose 2 points, compared with 1 point statewide. SchoolDigger’s latest rankings also place Spring Ave at the 97th percentile and Seventh Ave at the 94th, compared with 58th for Hodgkins and 51st for Ideal. The schools’ 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares varied—from 6% at Spring Ave and 32% at Seventh Ave to 72% at Ideal and 79% at Hodgkins—while outcomes differed by subject and school; these figures are context, not an explanation of results.
