Summary

Creekside Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Plainfield, Illinois, serving 489 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Plainfield School District 202, which is ranked 303 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Creekside Elementary School has some notable strengths, such as strong performance among English Language Learners and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, the school's overall academic performance lags behind its nearby counterparts in the Plainfield School District 202. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 53.3% of all grades were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 62.6% for the district and 53.1% for the state. Similarly, only 42% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 43.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. Additionally, Creekside Elementary School has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, from 15.8% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Creekside Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Walkers Grove Elementary, Central Elementary, and Eagle Pointe Elementary schools, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings in the state. While Creekside Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this has not translated into higher academic achievement, suggesting that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific needs of its student population and improve overall academic outcomes.
