Summary

Ludwig Elementary School serves 321 students in grades 4–5 in Lockport, in Will County School District 92. SchoolDigger gives it four stars and ranks it in the 77th percentile statewide for 2025–2026. Its overall English language arts (ELA) and math results are a little below district results, but all three tested subjects are above state rates. The standout finding is that Ludwig’s fifth-graders compare especially well with nearby students in the same grade, particularly in ELA and science.

Ludwig’s fifth-grade ELA proficiency was 75%, compared with 65% at Robert C Hill Elementary School, 54% at Taft Grade School and 52% at Irene King Elementary School. Fifth-grade science was 66%, versus 63% at Taft, 37% at King and 34% at Hill. Across all grades, Ludwig’s ELA result of 71% exceeded the state’s 56% but was 5 points below the district’s 76%. Math was 55%, 16 points above the state and essentially level with the district (55.4% versus 55.5%). Fifth-grade science was also above the state rate, 66% versus 48%, and matched the district. Ludwig’s grade-four math result was less of a local strength: 55%, below 58% at Luther J Schilling School, 63% at Taft and 71% at William J Butler School.

Math proficiency climbed from 39% in 2023–2024 to 55% in 2025–2026, while ELA rose from 62% to 71%, despite a 1-point dip in the latest year. Over that period, the math advantage over the state widened by 5 points, while the ELA advantage narrowed by 6 points. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile slipped from 84 to 77 across the three years, though its rating stayed at four stars. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 12.3, close to the nearby median, and 33% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, below the 46% average among nearby schools reporting the same measure. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also point to areas to ask about: Male Students ranked in the 57th percentile in 2025–2026, down 26 points from 2023–2024 and below the school’s overall 77th percentile; English Language Learner Students fell from the 95th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 64th in 2024–2025.
