Summary:

The Plainfield School District 202 in Illinois operates a total of 30 schools, including 19 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, and 4 high schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is located in the Plainfield area and provides educational opportunities for a diverse student population.

Several schools in the district stand out for their exceptional performance. Heritage Grove Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Illinois, with exceptional test scores and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Similarly, Walkers Grove Elementary School and Freedom Elementary School are also high-performing, ranking in the top 10% of Illinois elementary schools with impressive test scores.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the district's high-performing and low-performing schools. While some schools, such as Lincoln Elementary, maintain consistently high performance, others, like Grand Prairie Elementary School, struggle academically. The district-wide challenges, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate, suggest the need for a comprehensive approach to address these disparities and ensure all students have access to a quality education.
