Summary

Lily Lake Grade School is a 275-student K–5 elementary school in Maple Park, serving families in Central CUSD 301. Its strongest overall distinction is that students perform well above Illinois results in English, math, and fifth-grade science, although all-grades English proficiency is below the district result.

Compared with nearby schools, Lily Lake’s clearest strength is fifth-grade science: its 76% result ranked second among 11 schools, 10 points above the nearby average, behind only Ferson Creek School at 83%. Math was also strong, ranking fourth of 11 with 65%, compared with 63% in the district and 40% statewide. English was more mixed: Lily Lake ranked sixth of 11, with 75% proficiency—near the nearby average of 75.1% and above the state’s 56%, but below the district’s 79.7%. Chronic absenteeism presents another relative concern: at 12.4%, it was below the district’s 12.7% and state’s 23.5%, but higher than at nine of the 10 nearby schools.

Results have risen substantially since 2023–2024: English increased from 61% to 75%, and math from 46% to 65%, with little further change in the latest year. SchoolDigger rates Lily Lake at the 87th percentile and four stars for 2025–2026, fourth-highest among the 11 nearby schools, though its percentile is 10 points below its 2020–2021 peak of 97. For context, the school’s student-teacher ratio was 14.8:1 in 2024–2025, and 24% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; among seven nearby schools with the same measure and year, the average was about 18%.
