Summary

Briargate Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Cary, Illinois, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 425 students. The school is part of the Cary CCSD 26 district, which is ranked 275 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Briargate Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently exceeding the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, Briargate's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 58.7%, compared to the state average of 53.1%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 57.3%, significantly higher than the state's 38.5%. The school's 5th-grade students, in particular, have shown exceptional performance, with 72.8% proficient in ELA and 58.2% in Mathematics, outpacing the district and state averages.

While Briargate Elementary School generally outperforms other nearby schools in the Cary CCSD 26 district, such as Three Oaks School and Deer Path Elementary School, some schools outside the district, like Eastview Elementary and Kenneth E Neubert Elementary in the Cusd 300 district, have higher academic performance in certain grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Briargate's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 17.23% to 23.06% over the past few years, suggests a higher-income student population compared to some nearby schools.
