Summary

Currier Elementary School is a public elementary school in West Chicago, Illinois, serving 363 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the West Chicago Education Service District 33, which is ranked 688 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Currier Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently underperforming the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.5% of Currier students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 39.1% for the district and 53.1% for the state. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.7% to 26.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing relatively better than the overall school, while students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform much worse.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Turner Elementary, Pioneer Elementary, and Indian Knoll Elementary, also perform below the state average in academic metrics, suggesting a broader challenge within the West Chicago Education Service District 33. Addressing the issues at Currier Elementary School will require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors, as well as targeted interventions for underperforming student populations.
