56^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,737 Illinois Elementary Schools

Better than 97% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

Spencer Loomis Elementary School serves 516 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois, and is part of Lake Zurich CUSD 95. In 2025–26, 90% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 81% in math. Both results were above district and state rates. The clearest takeaway is that Spencer had the highest all-grades ELA and math results among nearby K–5 schools with comparable data.

Spencer’s advantage is broad, with particularly strong math results, while science and upper-grade math are areas to watch. ELA proficiency was 85% in the district and 56% statewide; math was 72% in the district and 40% statewide. Spencer’s results were higher by 5 and 34 percentage points in ELA, and 9 and 41 points in math, respectively. It also led nearby K–5 schools: the next-highest ELA result was 86% at North Barrington Elementary School, and the next-highest math result was 78% at May Whitney Elementary School. However, math proficiency fell from 93% in grade 3 to 73% in grade 5. Fifth-grade science was 72%, below the district’s 74%, though above the state’s 48%.

Results have risen over three years: ELA increased 14 percentage points from 2023–24 to 2025–26, and math rose 6 points. SchoolDigger ranks Spencer 56th of 1,737 Illinois schools, at the 97th percentile with five stars; its overall percentile was 97 in each of the last two years, after 99 in 2023–24. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 16 students per teacher, and 9% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—the lowest reported rate among nearby schools with the same measure. One subgroup result stands out: SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking was at the 81st percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 97th percentile, and down from the subgroup’s 99th percentile in 2024–25. Subgroup ranking denominators vary by year, so year-to-year comparisons require care.

Spencer Loomis has been a vibrate learning source for my three daughters. The teaching staff is very child-centric and provides a calm and rich learning environment. I have found the teachers and administrators to be caring and eager to provide any special service and resources to foster the best learning experiences for their students. The Special Ed Resources teacher is experienced and creative in her approach, relating well to students and parents alike. My Special Ed student feels that his teacher's strategies have helped him become a better reader and makes him feel more positive about himself and his capabilities. Close Quote

This school is amazing! From the teachers to the principal and admin people, to the activities and PTO folks, all are top notch people. Everyone goes beyond the necessary or expected degree of being friendly, welcoming and helpful. I've moved four times in the past 10 years and my three kids have been in four schools, including two private. This school outshines all of them. My kids are so happy and that means mama's happy! Most importantly, they are doing so well academically. Close Quote
