Summary

Lowell Elementary School serves 283 students in grades K–5 in Wheaton’s CUSD 200. Its 2025–26 results show a clear academic strength: math proficiency is substantially above both state and district rates and nearly all nearby schools.

Math is Lowell’s standout compared with nearby schools, while ELA is a relative weakness locally. In 2025–26, 77% of Lowell students were proficient in all-grades math, versus 63% in the district and 40% statewide; Lowell ranked second among 11 nearby schools, with a result 7 points above their average. ELA proficiency was 73%—17 points above the state, but 7 points below the district and 3 points below the nearby-school average; Lowell ranked ninth among the 11. Fifth-grade science was also above the state (58% versus 48%) but below the district (63%), and Lowell ranked second-lowest among nearby schools. Fifth-grade ELA is another soft spot: 70% proficiency was below the district’s 76% and the nearby average of 77%.

Math has improved sharply, rising 20 percentage points from 57% in 2023–24 to 77% in 2025–26, while its lead over the state widened by 9 points. ELA rose 16 points over that period, but dipped from 74% in 2024–25 to 73% in the latest year; its advantage over the state was similar at the beginning and end of the period. SchoolDigger places Lowell at the 87th percentile statewide, with 4 stars and a rank of 226 out of 1,737; its percentile has eased from 91 last year and 90 two years ago. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 11.7, and 30% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—contextual figures that do not explain the test results.
