Summary

Kaneland McDole Elementary School is a public elementary school in Montgomery, Illinois, serving 424 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Kaneland CUSD 302 district, which is ranked 246 out of 811 districts in Illinois, Kaneland McDole has consistently performed in the top half of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade.

The school's academic performance is a mixed bag compared to nearby schools. While Kaneland McDole outperforms some schools like Boulder Hill Elementary and Nicholson Elementary, it lags behind others like Kaneland John Shields Elementary and Fox Chase Elementary in certain grade levels and subject areas. However, the school's male, Hispanic, special education, and low socioeconomic status students have performed particularly well, ranking in the top quarter of Illinois elementary schools in these subgroups.

One area of concern is Kaneland McDole's rising chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased from 10.5% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, higher than the state average. On a positive note, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and has increased its per-student spending, suggesting a focus on providing adequate resources and support for its students, which may contribute to its overall academic performance.
