Summary

Wegner Elementary School serves 384 students in grades K–5 in West Chicago, in the West Chicago Education Service District 33. In 2025–26, 24% of students were proficient in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math, below state rates of 56% and 40%, respectively, and district rates of 40% and 26%. The clearest concern is ELA: Wegner’s result was 32 percentage points below the state and 16 points below the district, and lower than every one of the seven nearby K–5 schools in the comparison.

Third-grade math is a notable strength compared with the school’s other results: 41% of Wegner students were proficient, the highest among the five same-district schools and 7 percentage points above the district result, though still 8 points below the state. Fourth-grade math was much weaker at 15%, the lowest among those same-district schools and 11 points below the district. Across all grades, math is relatively stronger than ELA, but remains low: Wegner’s 24% was second-lowest among nearby K–5 schools, about 1 point above Currier Elementary School. The other nearby K–5 schools averaged 53% in ELA and 44% in math, compared with Wegner’s 24% in each subject.

Wegner’s math proficiency has improved over time, from 18% in 2023–24 to 24% in 2025–26, while ELA changed little overall, from 22% to 24%. Because state scores rose faster, Wegner’s gaps widened: by 14 percentage points in ELA and 5 points in math. SchoolDigger’s rating also fell from the 36th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–24 to the 9th percentile and 0 stars in 2025–26; its current rank is 1,573 of 1,737 schools. In 2024–25, Wegner’s student-teacher ratio was 12.3, below the nearby-school average of 13.3, and 71% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s 2022–23 ranking for Disabled Students was notably higher than its overall ranking: 53rd percentile versus 32nd, as a measure of how well the school served that group. Its English Language Learner Students ranking fell from the 49th percentile in 2023–24 to the 14th in 2024–25, while its overall ranking fell from the 36th to the 18th percentile.
