Summary

G N Dieterich Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Aurora, Illinois, with an enrollment of 494 students. The school is part of the Aurora East Unified School District 131, which is ranked 777 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,713 to $18,959 over the past few years, G N Dieterich Elementary consistently performs below the state and district averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 14.3% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 53.1% statewide and 26.5% in the district. In math, only 8.9% of students were proficient or better, compared to 38.5% statewide and 15% in the district. The school's performance has been consistently low over the past several years, and it struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Illinois elementary schools for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

When comparing G N Dieterich Elementary School to other nearby schools in the same district, the performance gap is evident. Schools like W.S. Beaupre, Olney C. Allen, and Rose E. Krug all outperform G N Dieterich on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. Addressing the challenges faced by G N Dieterich, such as high rates of poverty, large proportions of English Language Learners and Special Education students, and chronic absenteeism, will require a comprehensive approach from the Aurora East Unified School District 131 to improve educational outcomes across the district.
