Summary

Bower Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Warrenville, Illinois, serving 404 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Community Unit School District 200, which is ranked 86 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bower Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools, with strong academic performance. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (76.5%) and Mathematics (71.6%) are significantly higher than the state averages. Bower also outperforms its district in these subjects across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 61.6% is higher than the state average of 40.6%. Bower Elementary's performance is particularly noteworthy for male students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, as the school ranks in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools for these student groups.

While Bower Elementary's academic achievements are impressive, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is higher than the district's rate of 14.4% and the state's rate of 14.7%. This is an area that may require further attention and targeted interventions. Compared to nearby high-performing schools in the Naperville CUSD 203 district, such as Naper Elementary and Ellsworth Elementary, Bower Elementary's performance is still strong but slightly lower in some areas. However, Bower's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest a commitment to providing ample resources and personalized attention to support student learning.
