Summary

Woods Creek Elementary School enrolls 489 students in grades K–5 in Crystal Lake, Illinois, and serves families in an area with several nearby elementary schools. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were above the state’s in English Language Arts (ELA), math and fifth-grade science, and chronic absenteeism was lower than the district’s, state’s and every nearby school’s reported rate. The clearest overall takeaway is that Woods Creek performs well against broad benchmarks, with math its strongest relative result and science its clearest local weakness.

Math is Woods Creek’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 53% of students were proficient, 5 percentage points above the nearby average, 9 points above the district and 13 points above the state. ELA proficiency was 65%—7 points above the nearby average, 3 above the district and 9 above the state. Fifth-grade science was 53%, just 2 points above the nearby average and 5 above the state, but 3 points below the district; Woods Creek ranked seventh of 10 nearby schools in science, compared with fourth in ELA and fifth in math. Fourth-grade math is a more specific concern: its 51% proficiency was below that of six of nine nearby schools with results, though above the district’s 48% and the state’s 42%.

Results have risen over time: from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency gained 16 percentage points and math gained 17. Meanwhile, SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 81st percentile in 2022–2023 to the 65th percentile, with three stars, in 2025–2026—showing that improved scores and statewide standing can move in different directions. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 85th percentile, above the school’s overall 65th percentile; its ranking for White Students was at the 32nd percentile, below the overall result. In 2024–2025, Woods Creek’s student-teacher ratio was 12.1, below the nearby average of 12.9; 23% of students were eligible for free/reduced-price lunch, compared with a nearby average of 39%. These are useful context, not explanations for student results.
