Summary

Sunny Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Carpentersville, Illinois, serving 272 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Barrington CUSD 220 district, which is ranked 87 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Sunny Hill Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending of $25,749, it has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 41.6% of Sunny Hill students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 79.3% for the district and 53.1% for the state. Similarly, in Mathematics, only 28.6% of Sunny Hill students were proficient or better, compared to 62.6% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also struggles with significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups, with proficiency rates ranging from 25.2% for special education students to 58.2% for Hispanic students.

Comparing Sunny Hill Elementary School to nearby schools in the CUSD 300 district, it becomes evident that Sunny Hill is one of the lower-performing schools. For example, Eastview Elementary School, located just 2.33 miles away, had significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA (75.2%) and Mathematics (66.7%) in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.6% to 26.3% over the past few years, also suggest that Sunny Hill Elementary School may be facing challenges in supporting its students' educational needs.
