Summary

Komarek Elementary School in North Riverside, a Chicago suburb, serves 570 students from prekindergarten through grade 8. Its strongest overall test results are near the state level in English, but its clearest concern is mathematics in grades 6–8: proficiency was 21% in grade 6, 28% in grade 7 and 17% in grade 8, compared with 36%, 40% and 35% statewide.

In 2025–26, Komarek’s all-grades English proficiency was 55%, close to the state’s 56%; math was 33%, 6 points below the state’s 40%. The supplied district results match the school’s in every subject and year shown. Compared with nearby K–8 school Lindop Elementary School, Komarek was higher in both all-grades English (55% versus 53%) and math (33% versus 22%). Some elementary results also stand out against the state: fourth-grade English was 66% versus 56%, and fifth-grade math was 45% versus 36%. Lindop’s grades 6–8 math results are suppressed, so a direct nearby comparison for those grades is unavailable.

Komarek’s all-grades English proficiency increased 17 points from 2023–24 to 2025–26, reaching 55%, while math rose 10 points to 33%; math nevertheless remained farther below the state than it was three years earlier. Chronic absenteeism fell from 33% in 2021–22 to 14% in 2024–25, then rose to 16% in 2025–26, still below the state’s 24%. SchoolDigger ranks Komarek 918th of 1,737 schools, in the 47th percentile with 2 stars; its district, Komarek School District 94, is in the 22nd percentile with 1 star. The student-teacher ratio was 12.1 in 2024–25, and 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Female Students fell from the 54th percentile in 2024–25 to the 25th in 2025–26, well below the school’s overall percentile; its ranking for Hispanic Students was higher, at the 69th percentile.
