Summary

Carol Stream Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 408 students in grades K-5 in Carol Stream, Illinois. The school is part of the Community Consolidated School District 93, which is ranked 358 out of 811 school districts in the state.

While Carol Stream Elementary School has some bright spots, such as higher 5th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to the district and state, the school overall faces several challenges. Its proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are lower than the district and state averages, and it has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates. The school's performance has also declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 355 out of 2,052 Illinois elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 969 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025. Notably, the school struggles with significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, particularly for Asian students and English Language Learners.

When compared to other elementary schools in the same district, Carol Stream Elementary School generally performs below its peers. For example, Cloverdale Elementary School and Heritage Lakes Elementary School have higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch increasing from 39.58% in 2021-2022 to 62.5% in 2023-2024, may also be contributing to the challenges it faces.

Covering up a MAJOR sexting issue. Tons of students suspended. Minority students are not able to "Exceed Expectations". Check the district website, and it is clear that 0 of black students "exceeded expectations". Crazy grading scale with 1-5 instead of ABC. Teachers get Mondays off for "training", which means you will have to find a babysitter early on Mondays. Very strange place. Close Quote
