Summary

Schneider Elementary School serves 361 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in North Aurora, Illinois, as part of Aurora West Unified School District 129. Its latest proficiency results show a mixed picture: math is above the district average, while both math and English language arts (ELA) are below state results and nearby-school averages. The most important takeaway is that Schneider’s academic results trail most nearby schools overall, despite its relative strength in math compared with its district.

Schneider’s strongest results vary by grade and subject. In fifth-grade ELA, 51% of students were proficient, above the district’s 38% and close to the state’s 55%; the result was higher than at nearby Fearn Elementary School and Smith Elementary School, but below Goodwin Elementary School. Third-grade math was another bright spot, at 47% compared with 49% statewide and 38% in the district. By contrast, third-grade ELA was 22%, and fourth- and fifth-grade math were 28% and 24%. Across all grades, ELA proficiency was 37%, below the state’s 56%, district’s 44%, and nearby-school average of 47%. Math was 32%—above the district’s 30%, but below the state’s 40% and nearby average of 44%.

Results have improved over three years: all-grades ELA rose from 19% in 2023–2024 to 37% in 2025–2026, while math increased from 16% to 32%; however, the gaps with the state widened slightly in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranked Schneider at the 22nd percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, down from the 33rd percentile and 2 stars the year before. The school had a student-teacher ratio of 12.0 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios. Its free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 52% in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students, a measure of how well the school serves this group, rose from the 7th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 34th in 2024–2025, compared with an overall school percentile of 33 that year.
