Summary

Indian Knoll Elementary School serves 375 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in West Chicago’s West Chicago Education Service District 33. Its results are mixed: it compares favorably with some nearby district schools, but its performance is low relative to the state and the wider group of nearby schools. The most important concern is ELA: 39% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, 17 percentage points below the state.

Indian Knoll’s standing depends on which schools it is compared with. Its ELA result was second-highest among four nearby schools in its district, but fourth-lowest among nine nearby K–5 schools with results. Math was a relative strength against the district: 28% were proficient, compared with 26% in the district and 40% statewide. Still, Indian Knoll’s math result was third-lowest among those nine nearby K–5 schools. Grade-level results also vary: third-grade ELA was 44%, above the district’s 33%, while fifth-grade math was 19%, below both the district’s 22% and the state’s 36%. Fifth-grade science was 34%, above the district’s 31% but below the state’s 48%.

Scores have improved over several years, though math fell in the latest year: ELA rose 19 percentage points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while math rose 16 points overall after dropping 6 points from the previous year. SchoolDigger placed Indian Knoll at the 18th percentile statewide with 1 star in 2025–2026; the district was at the 6th percentile with 0 stars. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 11.7, below the nearby-school median of 12.1, and 60% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 statewide ranking for Special Education Students was at the 6th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 31st percentile; its ranking for English Language Learner Students fell from the 38th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 19th in 2024–2025.
