Summary

Wm Hammerschmidt Elementary School is a public K-5 school in Lombard, Illinois, part of the Lombard School District 44. With 391 students, the school generally outperforms the district and state in academic measures, particularly for its special education students.

Wm Hammerschmidt's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics exceed the averages for the district and Illinois, with 57.4% and 53.4% of students proficient or better, respectively. The school's special education students rank in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased in recent years, reaching 25.4% in 2024-2025, an area of concern. Compared to other Lombard District 44 schools, Wm Hammerschmidt outperforms its peers, but lags behind some higher-performing schools in the neighboring School District 45, such as Ardmore Elementary and Westmore Elementary.

While Wm Hammerschmidt's overall performance is strong, the school faces challenges in addressing potential achievement gaps for certain student subgroups. The school's rankings for white students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds are lower than its special education performance. Continued focus on addressing these areas, while building on the school's academic strengths, could help Wm Hammerschmidt maintain its position as a top-performing elementary school in Illinois.
