Better than 24% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

Sunny Hill Elementary School in Carpentersville serves 245 students in grades K–5, the smallest enrollment among the nine nearby schools compared. It is part of Barrington CUSD 220, whose SchoolDigger rating is 4 stars and the 86th percentile; the school itself has a 1-star rating and is at the 24th percentile. The most important concern is that Sunny Hill’s 2025–26 proficiency was below the state, district, and nearby K–5 averages in both ELA and math, with especially large gaps in ELA and fifth-grade science.

Among the tested subjects, math is closest to the state result, while ELA is weakest against both the state and district. Sunny Hill scored 34% in math, 5 percentage points below the state and 30 below the district; its 37% in ELA was 20 points below the state and 43 below the district. Compared with nearby K–5 schools, Sunny Hill ranked fifth of nine in both subjects: its ELA result was 6 points below the local average of 43%, and its math result was 3 points below the 37% average. Third-grade math is a bright spot: 55% was 6 points above the state and 4 above the district. By contrast, fifth-grade ELA was 33%, 22 points below the state, and fifth-grade science was 26%, 21 points below the state and 14 below the nearby reported-results average.

Math has improved over three years, rising from 13% in 2023–24 to 34% in 2025–26, while its gap to the state narrowed from 16 points to 5. ELA rose to 42% in 2024–25, then fell to 37%; its state gap widened overall from 18 to 20 points. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile also fell from 36 in 2024–25 to 24 in 2025–26. Context includes a 9.4 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25, lower than every nearby school, and 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students was 55th percentile in 2024–25, above the school’s overall 36th percentile, but it varied from 72 to 33 to 55 over three years. For Hispanic Students, the 2025–26 ranking was 40th percentile, compared with 24 overall.
