Summary

Hyde Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Waukegan, Illinois, serving 270 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Waukegan CUSD 60 district, which is ranked 760 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hyde Park Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with low student performance on state assessments. In 2024-2025, only 34.1% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 53.1% statewide and 24.6% in the Waukegan district. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 29.6% of students proficient or better, compared to 38.5% statewide and 18.7% in the district. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.8% to 38.7% in recent years.

While the nearby LEARN John Kathy Schreiber Charter School outperforms the district schools, the other nearby Whittier Elementary, Glen Flora Elementary, and North Elementary schools also face similar challenges to Hyde Park Elementary. Despite the high needs of the student population, Hyde Park Elementary has relatively high per-student spending, suggesting that targeted interventions and a re-evaluation of the educational model within the district may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
