Golfview Elementary School

1636^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,737 Illinois Elementary Schools

Better than 6% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

Golfview Elementary School serves 401 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Carpentersville, within CUSD 300. The district ranks 470 of 738 Illinois districts on SchoolDigger, but Golfview’s own 2025–2026 standing is much lower: 1,636 of 1,737 schools, in the 6th percentile with 0 stars. The most important finding is that Golfview’s results are low across subjects and near the bottom among nearby K–5 schools.

Math is Golfview’s closest subject to state and district results, while ELA has the largest gaps to those benchmarks; science is weakest compared with nearby schools. In 2025–2026, Golfview’s proficiency was 26% in ELA, 23% in math and 22% in fifth-grade science, compared with state results of 56%, 40% and 48%, respectively, and district results of 52%, 39% and 45%. The gaps were 30 and 26 percentage points in ELA, 17 and 17 in math, and 26 and 23 in science, compared with the state and district. Against nearby K–5 averages—43% in ELA, 38% in math and 35% in science—Golfview had the second-lowest ELA and math results and the lowest reported science result. It was just above Meadowdale Elementary School in ELA and Lakewood School in math.

Results improved in 2024–2025, then fell the next year: ELA rose from 13% in 2023–2024 to 32%, then declined to 26%; math rose from 18% to 28%, then fell to 23%. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile dropped from 27 to 6 between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, and its rating fell from 1 star to 0. The student-teacher ratio was 12.6 in 2024–2025, below the nearby-school average of 13.2, while 87% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby average of 73%; these figures describe context, not causes of test results. One notable group result is the SchoolDigger ranking for English Language Learner Students: Golfview fell from the 60th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 39th in 2024–2025, while its overall percentile moved from 33 to 27, showing a sharper loss of relative standing for that group.
