Will County School District 92

Will County School District 92 has four schools serving PK–8: Walsh Elementary School serves PK–1, Reed Elementary School grades 2–3, Ludwig Elementary School grades 4–5, and Oak Prairie Junior High School grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, the three schools with scores averaged 72% in English language arts (ELA) and 58% in math, compared with state results of 56% and 40%. The most important finding is that all three schools with results were above the state in both subjects, but the school leading in ELA was not the school leading in math.

Oak Prairie stood out in ELA at 82%, ahead of Ludwig at 71% and Reed at 64%; Oak Prairie was 15 points above the other two schools’ average. In math, Reed led at 66%, compared with Ludwig’s 55% and Oak Prairie’s 53%, putting Reed 12 points above the other schools’ average. The lowest score depended on the subject: Reed’s ELA result was 12 points below the other schools’ average but 8 points above the state, while Oak Prairie’s math result was 8 points below the other schools’ average but 13 points above the state. These schoolwide results cover different grade spans, so they are not like-for-like comparisons.

Scores moved in different directions by subject: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the school average fell 3 points in ELA and rose 4 points in math. ELA scores declined at all three schools, while math improved at each; Reed had the largest math gain, rising 8 points. SchoolDigger’s rank percentiles also declined overall across the listed years, from 87th to 81st at Oak Prairie and from 84th to 77th at Ludwig. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 29% at Oak Prairie, 33% at Ludwig, and 35% at Reed; student-teacher ratios ranged from 10.6 at Oak Prairie to 12.3 at Ludwig among schools with test scores. These measures describe school circumstances, but the results show no simple pattern linking them to performance.
