Summary

Banner Elementary School serves 375 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Dunlap, within the highly rated Dunlap CUSD 323. Its 2025–2026 results are well above Illinois averages, but the most important finding for families comparing local schools is that Banner trails several nearby district peers, especially in ELA and math and in later-grade math.

Banner’s all-grades proficiency was 79% in ELA and 67% in math, exceeding state rates by 23 and 28 percentage points, respectively; fifth-grade science was 71%, 24 points above the state. But Banner was below the district averages in all three subjects, by 4 points in ELA, 2 in math, and 2 in science. It ranked fourth of five nearby Dunlap Grade School, Wilder-Waite Grade School, Hickory Grove Elementary School, and Ridgeview Elementary School in ELA and math. Third grade is a bright spot: Banner led those schools in third-grade math. Results were weaker in fourth and fifth grades, especially fifth-grade math, where 55% proficiency was 12 points below the district rate.

Scores have improved substantially since 2023–2024: ELA is up 16 percentage points and math 19, though math fell 5 points in the latest year while ELA was nearly unchanged. SchoolDigger gives Banner 4 stars and an 87th-percentile statewide ranking for 2025–2026, down from the 92nd percentile the year before; three nearby Dunlap schools rank higher. Banner’s student-teacher ratio was 15.3 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average, and 14% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for White Students was at the 69th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 80th percentile the prior year, compared with Banner’s overall 87th percentile. Its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students rose from the 64th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 86th in 2024–2025, while the overall ranking was at the 92nd percentile in both years.
