Summary

Field Elementary School serves 433 students in grades K–5 in Elmhurst, part of high-performing Elmhurst School District 205. Its 2025–2026 results were well above state averages, but it sits closer to the middle than the top among nearby schools: the school ranked fifth of 11 in ELA and sixth of 11 in math.

The school’s strongest comparisons are against the state and the nearby-school averages; its local district comparisons are more mixed. All-grades proficiency was 77% in ELA and 72% in math, versus 56% and 40% statewide and nearby-school averages of 63% and 57%. The results were close to district averages—81% in ELA and 73% in math. Fifth-grade science was 68%, above the state’s 48% and the nearby-school average of 57%, but below the district’s 69%; it ranked sixth of 11 nearby schools and last among nearby Elmhurst district schools. Fourth-grade math stands out as a grade-level concern: 67% proficiency was 9 points below the district’s 76%, while the school’s third- and fifth-grade math results were above district results.

Results have improved over three years overall, despite a recent dip: ELA rose from 70% in 2023–2024 to 82% in 2024–2025, then fell to 77%; math rose from 64% to 78%, then fell to 72%. SchoolDigger ranks the school 176th of 1,737 Illinois schools, at the 90th percentile with 4 stars; it ranked at the 96th percentile in each of the prior two years. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 14.3, among the higher ratios nearby. The school reported 12.5% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, close to the 13.5% average among nearby Elmhurst schools with the same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notable difference in relative standing: Male Students were at the 74th percentile, down from the 94th in each of the two previous years, while Low Socio Economic Status Students rose from the 43rd percentile in 2017–2018 to the 94th in 2024–2025.
