Summary

Algonquin Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Algonquin, Illinois, with 396 students. The school consistently outperforms the Community Unit School District 300 and the state of Illinois in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 58.7% of Algonquin students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 49.2% for the district and 53.1% for the state.

Algonquin Middle School also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, with Hispanic students ranking 241 out of 669 Illinois middle schools and English Language Learners ranking 208 out of 483 in 2024-2025, both in the top half of the state. However, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.6% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Algonquin Middle School generally outperforms Dundee Middle School and Carpentersville Middle School, which are also part of the CUSD 300 district. However, the nearby Huntley Community School District 158, which includes Marlowe Middle School and Heineman Middle School, is ranked higher and has a better overall rating, suggesting that the Huntley district may be providing a higher-quality education.
