SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,737 Illinois Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

Walkers Grove Elementary School serves 634 students in grades K–5 in Plainfield, Illinois, and stands out among nearby schools for its academic results. In 2025–2026, 86% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 80% in math—the highest results among the ten nearby schools in the comparison. Both were also well above Plainfield School District 202 and state results. Math is the clearest standout: the school was 41 percentage points above the state in math, compared with 30 points above in ELA.

Its strengths extend to attendance and science, while fifth-grade math is a relative dip. Chronic absenteeism was 10%, lower than the district’s 20%, the state’s 24%, and every nearby school. Fifth-grade science proficiency was 76%, second among nearby schools, behind V Blanche Graham Elementary; it was 19 points above the district and 28 points above the state. Fifth-grade math was 76%, eight points below Walkers Grove’s third-grade result of 83%, though still higher than all but one nearby school. Among nearby schools, its ELA and math results were 16 and 23 points above the respective averages.

Scores have risen considerably since 2023–2024: ELA increased 18 points to 86%, and math increased 30 points to 80%. Over that period, the school’s gap over the state widened by 3 points in ELA and 18 points in math. SchoolDigger ranked Walkers Grove 63rd of 1,737 schools statewide in 2025–2026, at the 96th percentile with five stars; the district ranked 335th of 738, at the 55th percentile with three stars. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 15.6, the second-highest among nearby schools, and 22% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 percentile for Special Education Students was 75, below the school’s overall 96, indicating a lower relative standing in its measure of how well it serves that group; for Asian Students, it was 92, up from 68 in 2023–2024, indicating a stronger relative standing in that measure. Statewide comparison groups vary in size, so these rankings describe relative standing, not individual students’ progress.
