SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,126 Illinois Middle Schools

Better than 92% of Illinois middle schools

Summary

Woodlawn Middle School is a 632-student school serving grades 6–8 in Long Grove, in Chicago’s northwest suburbs. Its strongest academic distinction is eighth-grade science: 86% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, the highest reported result among the 10 nearby schools and well above the state’s 52%.

Woodlawn’s all-grade results are strong against the state and nearby schools, though they trail its district, especially in math. ELA proficiency was 80%, compared with 56% statewide, 81% in Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96 and a 73% average among nearby schools. Math was 67%, versus 40% statewide, 73% in the district and a 54% nearby-school average; Woodlawn ranked fourth among the 10 schools, just behind Aptakisic Junior High School. The clearest weakness is seventh-grade math: Woodlawn’s 60% was 8 points below the district, and five nearby schools scored higher. Eighth-grade science, by contrast, was 1 point above the district’s result and 35 points above the state’s.

Results have risen overall: ELA gained 5 percentage points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, and math gained 9 points, though Woodlawn’s advantage over the state narrowed in both subjects. SchoolDigger ranked Woodlawn 93rd of 1,126 Illinois schools in 2025–2026, at the 92nd percentile with five stars; its percentile was 95 in each of the prior two years. The district ranked 34th of 738, at the 95th percentile with five stars. Woodlawn’s student-teacher ratio was 15.5 in 2024–2025, higher than every nearby school and the nearby average of 12.2. It reported 14% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2021–2022, compared with 4% at Twin Groves Middle School and 6% at Aptakisic for that same year and measure. SchoolDigger’s Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking rose to the 97th percentile in 2024–2025 from the 75th in 2022–2023, while its Special Education Students ranking fell to the 78th percentile in 2025–2026 from the 96th in 2024–2025. These are relative rankings, not direct student outcome rates, and most nearby low-income figures are from different years.
