Summary

Three Oaks School is a public elementary school in Cary, Illinois, serving 439 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Cary CCSD 26 district, which is ranked 275 out of 811 districts in the state.

Three Oaks School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 62.3%, compared to the state average of 53.1%. The school also has strong performance across various student subgroups, including male students and students with disabilities. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has been rising, from 10.4% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Briargate Elementary School and Deer Path Elementary School within the same district, Three Oaks School generally outperforms them in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, some nearby schools in other districts, such as North Barrington Elementary School and Prairie Grove Elementary School, have even stronger academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding 70% in some areas.
