Summary
Parkview Elementary School serves 552 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Carpentersville, in CUSD 300. Its latest results point to challenges across subjects: in 2025–2026, 32% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 24% in math, and 28% in fifth-grade science. The central concern is that achievement is low across all three reported subjects, rather than in just one area.
Compared with the state, district and nearby-school averages, math is Parkview’s strongest subject relative to state and district results, while ELA is its weakest. ELA proficiency was 32%, versus 56% statewide, 52% in the district and a 44% average among nine nearby schools; Parkview ranked third-lowest of the ten schools. Math was 24%, compared with 40% statewide, 39% in the district and a nearby-school average of 39%, also third-lowest. Fifth-grade science was 28%, below the state’s 48%, the district’s 45% and the nearby-school average of 38%; its nearby-school ranking was fourth-lowest among schools with reported results. Fifth-grade ELA, at 39%, is a relative bright spot—higher than five nearby schools—but remains below state and district levels.
Scores have improved from 2023–2024, but the state gaps have not closed: ELA rose 15 percentage points to 32% and math rose 7 points to 24%, while the latest SchoolDigger statewide standing fell to the 9th percentile and 0 stars. SchoolDigger’s ranking dropped 16 percentile points in the latest year; only Golfview Elementary School and Meadowdale Elementary School ranked lower among these nearby schools. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 30% in 2025–2026, the second-highest rate in the group, though down 4 points from 2021–2022. For context, 80% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.1, near the nearby-school average. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well it serves female students also fell sharply, from the 28th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 1st in 2025–2026.
