Summary

Sunnyside Intermediate School serves 344 students in grades 3–5 in Berkeley, Illinois, as part of Berkeley School District 87. Its recent test scores have improved, but the school remains below state results in every supplied 2025–26 tested subject—the most important takeaway for families.

Compared with the state, Sunnyside’s all-grades proficiency was 34% in ELA and 26% in math, versus 56% and 40%, respectively; its fifth-grade science result was 24%, versus 48% statewide. Results were also below district rates in all three subjects, though math was close: 26% at Sunnyside and 26% districtwide. The closest nearby comparison is J W Riley Intermediate School, which also serves grades 3–5; its all-grades ELA and math results were 43% and 35%, compared with Sunnyside’s 34% and 26%. Fourth grade is a relative bright spot: Sunnyside’s ELA and math rates of 44% and 35% exceeded district rates of 42% and 32%. Third-grade math (26%) and fifth-grade ELA (27%) are weaker, trailing the district and Riley.

ELA and math have risen since 2023–24: ELA increased by 23 points and math by 15, narrowing their gaps with the state, though they remain substantial. Sunnyside’s chronic absenteeism also fell to 19% in 2025–26, below the district’s 21% and the state’s 24%. SchoolDigger ranked Sunnyside at the 11th statewide percentile with one star in 2025–26, down from the 21st percentile the prior year despite higher test scores. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 10.5, and 80% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show stronger statewide standing for Hispanic Students (35th percentile) and English Language Learner Students (33rd) than for the school overall; their rankings rose by 25 and 30 percentile points, respectively, from 2023–24 to 2025–26.
