Summary

Hyde Park Elementary School serves 295 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Waukegan, Illinois, within Waukegan CUSD 60. Its most important strength is that its 2025–26 English language arts and math proficiency results both exceeded the district’s, although both remained below state results.

ELA is Hyde Park’s strongest comparison with nearby schools: its 39% proficiency rate was second among nine nearby district elementary schools, behind Andrew Cooke Magnet Elementary School at 52%. Hyde Park’s 25% in math ranked third, just behind Lyon Magnet Elementary School at 26% and Cooke at 45%. The other nearby schools averaged 23% in ELA and 22% in math, compared with Hyde Park’s 39% and 25%. Against the district, Hyde Park was ahead by 10 percentage points in ELA and 6 points in math; against the state, it was behind by 18 and 14 points, respectively. Grade 5 science was weaker: 23% proficient, 1 point below the district and 25 points below the state.

Results have moved in different directions: ELA rose from 22% in 2023–24 to 39% in 2025–26, while math gained 11 points over those years but fell 4 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking dropped from the 38th percentile and 2 stars in 2024–25 to the 15th percentile and 1 star in 2025–26, despite the ELA increase.
