of 1,126 Illinois Middle Schools

Better than 91% of Illinois middle schools

Summary

Field School is a Northbrook, Illinois, middle school serving grades 6–8, with 333 students in West Northfield School District 31. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 81% in English Language Arts (ELA), 68% in math and 74% in eighth-grade science. The main takeaway is that Field is performing well above Illinois results in every reported subject, although it is not among the top-scoring nearby schools.

Compared with the state, Field was ahead by 25 percentage points in ELA, 29 in math and 22 in science; it also exceeded district results by 9 points in ELA and 4 in math, while science matched the district. Against nearby schools serving grades 6–8, Field was just above the average in ELA (81% versus 79%) and math (68% versus 67%), ranking fifth of 10 in ELA and fourth of 10 in math. Its science result was below the nearby average of 76%, and fourth-lowest among 11 schools. Seventh grade is a relative weak spot: Field’s ELA and math rates were 75% and 64%, ranking ninth and eighth of 11 nearby schools, respectively.

ELA rose from 72% in 2023–24 to 81% in 2025–26, while math increased from 57% to 68%; the latest ELA result was nearly unchanged from the prior year. SchoolDigger rates Field at the 91st statewide percentile with five stars, but it ranks eighth among Field and the 10 nearby schools; its percentile has fallen seven points from 98 in 2021–22. Field’s 9.7 student-teacher ratio is close to the nearby average of 10.0. Its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 18% in 2021–22, higher than the same-year figures at six nearby schools, which ranged from 1% to 5%. One notable group result is SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for English Language Learner Students: it fell from the 98th percentile in 2022–23 to the 76th in 2024–25, a 22-point decline.
