Summary

Naper Elementary School serves 235 students in kindergarten through grade 4 in Naperville, Illinois, within Naperville CUSD 203. SchoolDigger ranks the district 43rd of 738 Illinois districts, in the 94th percentile with five stars. Naper’s reported results are well above state levels in both subjects, and its clearest academic distinction is math: 80% proficient, 40 percentage points above the state and 9 points above its district.

Math is Naper’s stronger subject against local comparisons, while ELA is closer to the district and nearby schools. Naper’s ELA proficiency is 81%, compared with 56% statewide and 82% in the district; that is 25 points above the state but 2 below the district. Among 10 nearby schools, Naper ranks fourth in math and sixth in ELA. Grade results show that math strength is not the same across both tested grades: fourth-grade math is 85%, 10 points above the district, while third-grade math is 76%, 2 points below it. Naper’s ELA is 79% in grade 3 and 83% in grade 4. Naper serves K–4 while nearby schools serve K–5, so all-grades comparisons are not fully like-for-like.
