Summary

Adm Richard E Byrd Elementary School serves 301 students in kindergarten through grade five in suburban Elk Grove Village, Illinois. In 2025–26, 33% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 24% in math, compared with 56% and 40% statewide and 50% and 39% in the district. The most important finding is that Byrd’s results were below state and district results in both subjects, and below every nearby same-district K–5 school with reported scores.

Byrd’s clearest relative strength is fifth-grade science: 42% were proficient, 6 percentage points below the state and 10 below the district—smaller gaps than in ELA or math. Science was still below Salt Creek Elementary School (47%), Clearmont Elementary School (61%) and Ridge Family Center for Learning (82%). Fourth-grade math is a particular weakness: 22% were proficient, about 20 points below both state and district results. Across grades, Byrd’s 33% ELA and 24% math were also well below the three nearby schools’ averages of 63% and 51%. Byrd’s third-grade ELA result was suppressed and cannot be assessed.

Scores rose between 2023–24 and 2025–26, but not as quickly as state scores: ELA increased 12 points for Byrd versus 15 statewide, and math increased 3 points versus 11 statewide. Both Byrd scores fell in the latest year—ELA by 1 point and math by 4—while SchoolDigger’s overall standing dropped from the 37th percentile in 2023–24 to the 15th percentile in 2025–26 (1 star; rank 1,471 of 1,737). Context includes a 9.8:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25, below the nearby same-district peer average of 10.9:1, and 80% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch that year, the highest rate among nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking suggests stronger measured performance for Special Education Students than overall: Byrd ranked at the 59th percentile for this group in 2024–25, compared with the 33rd percentile overall.
