Summary:
Valley View CUSD 365U has 19 schools serving elementary, middle and high-school grades: 12 elementary schools, five middle schools and two high schools. The 2025–2026 results show meaningful differences among schools and subjects: the elementary-school averages were above state results in ELA and math, while fifth-grade science was below; the two high schools were below state results in all three ACT subjects. The clearest district-wide contrast is in middle school: ELA results were well above the state average, while math was slightly below it.
A Vito Martinez Middle School led the middle schools in ELA, math and eighth-grade science, with about 80%, 45% and 60% proficient, respectively; its ELA was 24 points above the state result. Among elementary schools, Kenneth L Hermansen Elementary led ELA at 67%, while Skoff Elementary and John R Tibbott Elementary tied for the top math result at 53%. Skoff also led fifth-grade science at 53%. At the other end, Independence Elementary had the lowest elementary results: 37% in ELA, 28% in math and 26% in science. Romeoville High School led Bolingbrook High School on all three ACT subjects, though both schools were below state results.
Results changed unevenly over time: elementary ELA and science averages rose by about 2 and 7 percentage points, while elementary math fell by about 1 point; middle-school ELA and math rose by about 2 and 3 points. Both high schools’ ACT results fell in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. SchoolDigger’s rankings place Martinez at the 74th percentile among middle schools and Independence at the 15th percentile among elementary schools. Income figures offer context, not an explanation: free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 were about 68% at both Independence and Tibbott, yet Tibbott’s ELA and math results were 22 and 25 points higher. These results can help identify differences between schools, alongside factors such as attendance and school fit.
