Summary

Everett Dirksen Elementary School is a public K-6 school in Schaumburg, Illinois, part of the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district. With 522 students, the school has consistently strong test scores, outperforming state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school faces some challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism and performance gaps for certain student subgroups.

Everett Dirksen Elementary School's test scores are particularly impressive, with 64.5% of students proficient or better in ELA and 59.2% in Math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5% respectively. The school ranks in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools for female, male, and English Language Learner students. But it ranks in the bottom 25% for Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to support these underperforming groups.

While Everett Dirksen Elementary School performs well compared to other schools in the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 129th out of 2,037 Illinois elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 467th out of 2,056 in 2024-2025. This may be due in part to the school's sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, which rose from 17.8% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district average of 20.1%. Addressing this trend will be crucial for the school to maintain its high level of academic achievement.

We could not be happier with this school. The staff and administration are incredible - kind, giving, patient, fun, organized, and intelligent. The community is supportive and positive, too. It's a gem. Close Quote

I would have posted this review earlier, but it was in my notes to do for 2012. We were part of the Dirksen community in the past and looked forward to moving beyond Dirksen. Part of my New Year resolution is to give credit where credit is due and to get some complaints off my chest. Unfortunately, this is one of the complaints. SD54 represents Dirksen as one of its better schools and I would say it's in the bottom 25%. I hope Dirksen turns around in the future. Hopefully it is not representative of the district as a whole.
