Summary

Kenneth L Hermansen Elementary is a 431-student school serving grades K–5 in Romeoville, Illinois, and its main academic picture is strong English and math results but substantially weaker fifth-grade science.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, the district and the state: 67% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, versus 56% statewide and 63% in Valley View CUSD 365U; its result was also about 4 points above the comparable nearby-school average, ranking third among nine schools. Math proficiency was 50%, about 10 points above both the state and district and 2 points above the nearby average, though it ranked sixth among 10 schools. Grade-level results show both a high point and some unevenness: fourth-grade ELA was 83%, the highest among 11 nearby schools, and fifth-grade math was 51%, also the highest. In contrast, fifth-grade science was 37%, the lowest among 11 nearby schools and about 11 points below the state and 1 point below the district.

ELA and math have climbed since 2023–2024, gaining 33 and 18 percentage points, respectively, by 2025–2026. Still, Hermansen’s SchoolDigger standing slipped from the 63rd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 58th percentile, with 3 stars, in 2025–2026; the district is at the 41st percentile with 2 stars. Attendance has improved too: chronic absenteeism fell 14 points from 2021–2022 to 16% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 24% and district’s 26%, though six nearby schools had lower rates. Context for families includes a 10.9 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 54% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the third-highest share among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings indicate especially strong statewide standing for English Language Learner students: the group ranked at the 91st percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 58th percentile. Special Education Students had lower relative standing, at the 47th percentile in 2024–2025 compared with the school’s overall 63rd percentile.
