Summary

Rondout Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Lake Forest, Illinois, with a total enrollment of 149 students. The school is part of the Rondout School District 72, which is ranked 120 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rondout Elementary School consistently performs well above the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, 75.5% of students were proficient or better in ELA, and 59.4% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's male students and white students also perform significantly better than their counterparts at the state level. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.0% to 26.3% in recent years, which is higher than the state average.

Rondout Elementary School's high per-student spending, ranging from $34,656 to $41,858 in recent years, and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.4 to 8.5, suggest a significant investment in resources that may contribute to the school's strong academic performance. When compared to nearby schools, Rondout Elementary School generally outperforms the lower-performing schools in the North Chicago School District 187 but lags behind the top-performing schools in the Libertyville School District 70 and Oak Grove School District 68 Green Oaks.

Unfortunately all my kids needed to go through Rondout. It is not a good school.
Teachers are not friendly. Many seem unhappy due to superintendent control. Kids are not differentiated to meet needs and challenges. Teachers are extended to teach more than one subject at the upper grade levels. There are a few educators that are extroardinary... eh hmmmm Mrs Marks and Mrs. Kerrigan. But these few and far between.. please do your homework! Close Quote

Toxic, corrupt workplace. Rampant bullying and behavior problems. Unsafe environment. Close Quote
