SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,737 Illinois Elementary Schools

Better than 11% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

Lords Park Elementary School in Elgin, Illinois, serves 655 students in grades K–6 in School District U-46. SchoolDigger ranks it 1,551st of 1,737 Illinois schools, at the 11th percentile with 1 star. The school’s English language arts (ELA) and math proficiency have improved, but remain well below state and district results: in 2025–2026, 34% of students were proficient in ELA and 25% in math, compared with 56% and 40% statewide. The most important finding is that improvement has not yet closed the substantial proficiency gaps.

Compared with nearby schools, Lords Park is around the middle for all-grades ELA and math, ranking sixth of 11 in each; its scores are 6 points below the nearby ELA average and 2 points below the math average. Math is its strongest subject relative to state and district benchmarks: its 25% proficiency rate is 15 points below the state and 8 below the district, while ELA is 23 and 13 points below. Grade-level results vary sharply: third-grade math is a relative bright spot at 41%, though still below state and district rates. Fifth- and sixth-grade math are weaker, at 14% and 15%—below every nearby school reporting results for those grades. Sixth-grade ELA is also low at 31%, 28 points below the state rate. Chronic absenteeism is a positive contrast: the 2025–2026 rate was 18%, below the state’s 24% and district’s 30%; only the nearby Elgin Math and Science Academy Charter School had a lower rate.

From 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency rose from 17% to 34% and math from 14% to 25%, while the state ELA gap narrowed only slightly and the math gap widened slightly overall. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile fell from 25 to 11 across those years. Its subgroup measure of relative effectiveness for English Language Learner Students also declined sharply, from the 48th to the 16th percentile; for Female Students, it fell from the 27th to the 4th percentile. For context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 16.1, close to the nearby average of 16.0. In 2024–2025, 71% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 66%.
