Summary

Butterfield Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lombard, Illinois, serving 282 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Lombard School District 44, which is ranked 299 out of 811 school districts in the state.

Butterfield Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. For the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 57.4%, compared to 55.7% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, Butterfield's proficiency rate was 51.4%, higher than the district's 44% and the state's 38.5%. However, the school faces challenges, such as higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower performance for special education and low-income students. Nearby schools, like Benjamin Franklin Elementary and Briar Glen Elementary, have outperformed Butterfield in both ELA and Mathematics.

Over the past few years, Butterfield Elementary's statewide ranking has declined, from 101 out of 2,044 Illinois elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 754 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025. This suggests a need for the school to closely examine its instructional practices, curriculum, and resource allocation to identify areas for improvement and ensure that all students are receiving a high-quality education. By addressing the school's challenges and implementing targeted interventions, Butterfield can work to improve its overall educational outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.
