Summary:
Lincolnwood School District 74 has two elementary schools serving prekindergarten through grade 5: Todd Hall Elementary School serves prekindergarten–grade 2, and Rutledge Hall Elementary School serves grades 3–5; together, they enroll 783 students. Test results are supplied only for Rutledge, so the data cannot show how the two schools compare academically. The most important finding is that Rutledge’s 2025–2026 all-grades results were above state results in ELA and math, but its grade 5 math and science results were below the state.
Among the available test results, Rutledge stands out positively in all-grades ELA and math: 63% were proficient in ELA versus 56% statewide, a 6-point advantage, and 46% in math versus 40%, a 7-point advantage. The picture changes in grade 5: math proficiency was 33%, 3 points below the state’s 36%, and science was 44%, 3 points below the state’s 48%. Todd cannot be placed above or below Rutledge academically because its test scores are not provided. Both schools had lower 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism than the state’s 24%: Todd was at 19% and Rutledge at 17%, with Rutledge 3 points lower than Todd.
Rutledge’s results remain above state levels overall, but its advantage narrowed from the prior year: its ELA score fell 6 points, from 68% to 63%, and its lead over the state shrank by 9 points; math was essentially steady, while its lead narrowed by 1 point. Grade 5 science changed more sharply, dropping 17 points from 62% to 44% and shifting from 21 points above the state to 3 points below. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Rutledge also fell from 75 in 2024–2025 to 54 in 2025–2026. For context, in 2024–2025 Todd’s student–teacher ratio was 11.6, compared with 10.6 at Rutledge; both schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2021–2022, at 11% for Todd and 13% for Rutledge.
