Summary

Gordon Gregory Middle School serves 811 students in grades 6–8 in Naperville, in the area served by Indian Prairie CUSD 204. SchoolDigger ranked it 64th of 1,126 Illinois schools for 2025–2026, at the 94th percentile with 5 stars. Its 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism rate was 8%, below the district’s 14% and the state’s 24%, and lower than the reported rate at any nearby school. The clearest academic finding is that Gordon Gregory led all ten nearby schools in ELA proficiency.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject compared with both nearby schools and its district: 86% of students were proficient, 30 points above the state and 12 above the district. The next-highest nearby result was at Clifford Crone Middle School, about 1 point lower. Mathematics was 67% proficient—27 points above the state but only 4 above the district—and ranked fourth among the 11 schools compared, including Gordon Gregory. Eighth-grade science was 83% proficient, 31 points above the state and 9 above the district, ranking second among the 11 schools.

Results have improved overall across three comparable years, though both ELA and math dipped slightly from their 2024–2025 peaks. ELA rose 6 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while math gained 1 point; meanwhile, the school’s leads over the state narrowed in both subjects. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking moved from the 97th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 94th in 2025–2026. Its subgroup rankings flag a notable concern: the Special Education Students ranking fell 45 points, from the 87th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 42nd in 2025–2026, indicating a much lower relative ranking for how well the school serves this group. The Multi-racial Students ranking also declined, from the 96th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 70th in 2025–2026. As context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 15.7, higher than nearby schools’ ratios, while 8% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest share among nearby schools reporting the same measure and year.

Open Quote Yes, this school looks shiny and bright on paper, but when you actually experience the elitist mentality and teachers who prefer to teach only the best and brightest, and not meeting ALL students at their academic levels, you will find the true picture.

My child is a Gregory Middle School survivor. The emotional scars left from staff that bullies children and who fail to support those who are less than Ivy League material is an invisible tragedy that won't show up on all the pretty test scores.

If you dig behind the scores, there is a lot that is wrong with this school, the administration and the apathetic teachers.

In short, three years of hell. Close Quote
