Summary

Forest Glen Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 557. The school is part of the Glen Ellyn School District 41, which is ranked 82 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Forest Glen Elementary School has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Illinois, with a statewide ranking between 135-204 over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating excellent academic performance. The school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with particularly strong performance in 3rd and 5th grade ELA and Mathematics.

While Abraham Lincoln Elementary School and Churchill Elementary School, which are also part of the Glen Ellyn School District 41, have lower proficiency rates, the nearby Hawthorne Elementary School, which is part of the Cusd 200 district, has similar or slightly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics compared to Forest Glen. However, the recent increase in chronic absenteeism at Forest Glen Elementary School is a concern that the school should address to maintain its excellent academic standing.
