Summary:

The Lake Forest School District 67 in Illinois is home to 5 high-performing schools, including 3 elementary schools (Cherokee, Everett, and Sheridan) and 2 middle schools (Deer Path Middle School West and Deer Path Middle School East). The district is ranked 24th out of 811 districts in Illinois and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Sheridan Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 18th out of 2,056 schools in Illinois for the 2024-2025 school year. It boasts exceptional test scores, with 89.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 90.7% in Mathematics. Everett Elementary School is another high-performing school, ranking 87th in the state and with strong test scores in both subjects. At the middle school level, Deer Path Middle School West is the top-performing school, ranking 28th out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools.

While the Lake Forest School District 67 as a whole performs exceptionally well, with students significantly outperforming state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, the district also faces some challenges. The chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is 25.4%, which may indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed. Additionally, the high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios suggest the district is investing significant resources, but further analysis would be needed to understand how these resources are being utilized and their impact on student outcomes.
