Summary

Huff Elementary School serves 577 students in pre-K through grade 6 in Elgin, within School District U-46. In 2025–2026, 30% of students met proficiency expectations in English Language Arts (ELA) and 20% in math, compared with 46% and 32% across the district, and 56% and 40% statewide. Fifth-grade science was also low at 16%, versus 35% in the district and 48% statewide. The most important finding is that Huff’s achievement results are substantially below district and state levels across ELA, math, and science.

Among Huff and ten nearby schools, it ranked 9th in ELA and 8th in math; its scores were 8 points below the nearby average in ELA and 8 points below in math. Fifth-grade science was the lowest among nearby schools with reported results, 25 points below their average. Third-grade math is a particular concern: 16% met proficiency, compared with 47% in the district and 49% statewide, the lowest result among nearby schools. Sixth-grade ELA is a relative bright spot within Huff, at 42%—12 points above its all-grade result—though still below district and state levels. Nearby results also vary: Clinton Elementary School scored higher, while McKinley Elementary School had a similar free/reduced-lunch-eligible share and lower scores.

ELA proficiency has improved, rising 15 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, including a 4-point increase in the latest year. Math rose 9 points over those three years but slipped slightly last year, from 20.1% to 19.8%; its gap to the state widened to 20 points. Chronic absenteeism fell 10 points since 2021–2022, to 29% in 2025–2026, but remained 6 points above the state. SchoolDigger placed Huff at the 6th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 19th percentile and 1 star the year before. In 2024–2025, 76% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 66%; the student-teacher ratio was 18.2. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for students with disabilities was notably higher than Huff’s overall standing: 43rd percentile versus 19th in 2024–2025. Its English Language Learner Students ranking then fell from the 35th percentile to 0 in 2025–2026.
