Morton Grove School District 70

Morton Grove School District 70 has one listed school, Park View Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through eighth grade with 885 students. Its 2025–2026 results are above Illinois averages in both all-grade tested subjects: ELA proficiency was 76% versus 56% statewide, and math was 68% versus 40%. The most important finding is that Park View outperformed the state in both subjects, with a larger advantage in math.

There is no school-to-school leader or bottom in this one-school list; within Park View, fifth grade stands out and eighth-grade math is the relative soft spot. Fifth graders had the school’s strongest results in both ELA, at 88%, and math, at 83%; eighth-grade math was the lowest result, at 47%. Park View exceeded Illinois in every displayed grade and subject: its largest grade-specific advantage was 47 points in fifth-grade math, while its smallest was 8 points in eighth-grade ELA. Science results were also higher than state results in both tested grades: 79% versus 48% in fifth grade, and 66% versus 52% in eighth grade.

Park View’s advantage over the state narrowed by 5 points in ELA, 2 points in math, and 6 points in eighth-grade science, but widened by 7 points in fifth-grade science.
