SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,737 Illinois Elementary Schools

Better than 93% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

In Long Grove, Kildeer Countryside Elementary School serves 428 students in grades 1–5 in Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96. Its 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency was 79% in both ELA and math, and fifth-grade science proficiency was 82%. Those strong overall results mask a sharp ELA gap by grade: only 60% of third graders were proficient, compared with 72% districtwide and 48% statewide; it was the lowest third-grade result among the district’s four grades 1–5 schools. Fourth- and fifth-grade ELA proficiency was 87% and 88%, respectively, making third-grade ELA the clearest concern for families to explore.

Math is the school’s strongest subject in local comparisons: its 79% proficiency was 7 percentage points above the district and about 4 points above the average for nearby district peers Prairie Elementary School, Ivy Hall Elementary School and Country Meadows Elementary School. It was also 40 points above the state. ELA, by contrast, was 2 points below the district and 2 points below those peers’ average, though 23 points above the state. Fifth-grade science was 35 points above the state and 1 point above the district; nearby Half Day School, Ivy Hall and Prairie scored higher.

Results have improved substantially since 2023–2024: ELA rose 17 points and math 11 points, although both dipped in the latest year, by 1 and 2 points, respectively. SchoolDigger ranks the school 120th of 1,737 Illinois schools, at the 93rd percentile with five stars; it is fourth by rank among eight nearby ranked schools. One notable difference in SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness rankings is for Asian students: the school ranked at the 64th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 83rd percentile in 2023–2024, compared with its overall 93rd percentile. The student–teacher ratio was 14:1 in 2024–2025, and 8% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2021–2022.
