Summary

Algonquin Lakes Elementary School serves 408 students in grades K–5 in Algonquin, in CUSD 300. Its 2025–2026 results are above state and district averages in all-grades English language arts (ELA) and math, but the most important finding is the sharp grade-level split: from fourth to fifth grade, proficiency fell 16 points in ELA and 33 points in math.

Math is the school’s strongest all-grades subject, while fifth-grade science is its clearest weakness compared with nearby schools and state and district results. All-grades math proficiency was 50%, versus 40% statewide and 39% districtwide; that ranked third among nearby K–5 schools with results. ELA proficiency was 58%, above the state’s 56% and the district’s 52%, and tied for third among nearby K–5 schools. Fourth-grade ELA and math were each 67%, second-highest among nearby schools reporting those results, behind Eastview Elementary School. Fifth-grade results were weaker: ELA was 51% and math 35%, both below state and district averages. Fifth-grade science was 40%, below the state’s 48% and the district’s 45%, and ranked fourth among nearby schools with reported results.

Results remain above state averages, but both ELA and math declined in the latest year: ELA fell 3 points to 58% and math fell 10 points to 50% from 2024–2025. The state gap narrowed to 2 points in ELA and 10 points in math. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 53rd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 75th percentile the year before. Attendance is a relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 12% in 2025–2026, compared with 22% in the district and 24% statewide. In 2024–2025, 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby-school average of 72%; the student-teacher ratio was 12.8, close to the nearby median of 12.6. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Female Students fell to the 33rd percentile in 2025–2026, from the 70th percentile the year before, compared with the school’s overall 53rd percentile—a notable decline in its relative standing for this group.

This is one of the better public school my kids have been to. I found the school to be clean and the principal very efficient at handling any discipline issues. I also noticed that the demographics here are slowly shifting here towards parents who either both have college/master's degrees or are professionally employed and value education (which is true of Algonquin/McHenry areas in the past 10 years); I noticed another parent had the same observations as here. I am surprised that this only has 3 stars ranking. I suspect that in a year or two, this school will be among the preferred elementary schools. My kids both still miss the school (we've now moved out of state) and I miss the nice neighborhood around the school, with its parks and trails. Close Quote

A relatively new school in Algonquin. My daughter has been attending the school for a year now and we have been happy with the facility and more importantly with the principal (Ms. Ryan) and the teachers. The village of Algonquin itself is transitioning to a more white collar neighborhood and this is reflected in the demographics as well, at this school. I notice a lot of parents with graduate degrees and good education, taking interest in the PTA and other school related activities. The local parks are safe and well kept by the village as well, making it all the more convenient. If you plan to buy or rent in the local Algonquin Lakes neighborhood, this would be a good time, especially since there is still good supply of homes and low rates. The neighborhood is conveniently located for work in Barrington, IL and Schaumburg, and Elgin as well - Makes it an opitimum location for Work, & School. Overall, would definitely rank the school at a 4 for now and pehaps a 5, if they keep up the good work in the future. Close Quote
