SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,737 Illinois Elementary Schools

Better than 18% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

Robert Frost Elementary School in Mount Prospect serves 532 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Wheeling CCSD 21. In 2025–2026, 40% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 28% in math, below state rates of 56% and 40% and district rates of 51% and 37%. The most pressing concern is the sharp drop in math proficiency across the upper elementary grades: it fell from 39% in grade 3 to 25% in grade 4 and 18% in grade 5, a 21-point decline from grade 3.

Robert Frost performs better than its two same-district neighbors in overall results, but remains behind the state and district. Its ELA and math rates exceeded those at Walt Whitman Elementary School and Mark Twain Elementary School. Grade 3 ELA stands out as a relative bright spot: 47.8%, nearly level with the state’s 47.7% and 9 points above the district. Grade 5 is weaker: Frost’s 37% in ELA was below reported results at Walt Whitman, Euclid Elementary School and Mark Twain. Grade 5 math was 18%, just above Walt Whitman’s 16%, but below nearby schools with reported results.

Scores have improved over the longer term, although math declined in the latest year: from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, ELA rose from 13% to 40% and math from 12% to 28%; the ELA gap with the state narrowed by 12 points. SchoolDigger gives Robert Frost an 18th-percentile ranking and 1 star in 2025–2026, down from the 27th percentile the year before; it ranks third-lowest among eight nearby schools with current rankings. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 14.3, and 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. One group ranking is notably stronger: SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students reached the 41st percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s 18th-percentile overall ranking.
