Summary:
The Park Ridge CCSD 64 district in Illinois is home to 6 high-performing elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is a standout performer, ranking 50th out of 811 districts in Illinois and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating the district is providing a quality education across its schools.
Within the district, a few schools stand out as top performers. George B Carpenter Elementary School is the highest-ranked in the district, coming in at 43rd out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024. The school boasts consistently high test scores, with 82.1% proficiency in ELA and 80.7% in Math across all grades in 2024-2025. Eugene Field Elementary School and George Washington Elementary School also stand out as top performers in the district.
While the district excels overall, there is some variation in individual school performance. The district as a whole performs significantly above the state average in both ELA and Math proficiency, but the high chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is an area of concern that may indicate equity issues or other challenges faced by students and families. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggest the district may have opportunities to more evenly distribute resources to ensure equitable access to educational inputs.
