Summary

Canterbury Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Crystal Lake, Illinois, serving 489 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Crystal Lake CCSD 47 district, which is ranked 362 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Canterbury Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spends slightly more per student than the district average, its academic performance is a significant concern. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and math that are well below the district and state averages. This is particularly true for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, White students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who perform in the bottom 20-40% of their respective subgroups statewide. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the same district, such as Glacier Ridge Elementary, Husmann Elementary, and Indian Prairie Elementary, generally outperform Canterbury Elementary School on academic measures. Schools outside the district, such as Lincoln Prairie Elementary and Lake in the Hills Elementary, also tend to outperform Canterbury Elementary, despite being in a lower-ranked district.
