Across the district, the schools outperform the state of Illinois in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

The district's relatively low free and reduced lunch rates, combined with its high academic performance, suggest that it serves a relatively affluent community. However, the district's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% across all schools is an area of concern that may require further investigation and intervention.
