Summary

Located in West Dundee, Dundee Highlands Elementary School serves 396 students in grades K–5 and ranks among 10 nearby schools in this comparison. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were above the state in math and fifth-grade science, and just above the state in all-grades English Language Arts (ELA). The clearest standout is fifth-grade science: Dundee’s 53% was the highest result among nearby schools with reported scores.

Dundee Highlands is especially strong in math compared with the state, district and nearby schools: its 50% proficiency rate was 10 percentage points above both the state and CUSD 300, and well above the nearby-school average of 29%. ELA was 57%, about 1 point above the state and 5 above the district; it ranked third locally, behind Sleepy Hollow Elementary School at 64% and Elgin Math and Science Academy Charter School at 57%. Sleepy Hollow also led Dundee in math, with 61%. Fifth-grade math is a relative weak spot: Dundee’s 35% was just below the state and district rates. Perry Elementary School’s fifth-grade science score is suppressed, so the nearby science comparison includes reported results only.

ELA has climbed from 38% in 2023–2024 to 57% in 2025–2026, moving from below the state to slightly above it. Math rose over that period too, but slipped from 52% in 2024–2025 to 50% in the latest year. SchoolDigger gives Dundee a 54th-percentile statewide ranking and 3 stars for 2025–2026; its percentile has declined from 76 in 2021–2022 even as recent ELA and math proficiency improved. In 2024–2025, 44% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.6. SchoolDigger’s Male Students ranking is a notable concern: it fell from the 64th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 29th in 2025–2026, below the school’s overall 54th percentile, making it worth asking how the school monitors and supports outcomes for boys.
