Summary:

Zip code 60021 has two schools in Fox River Grove Cons School District 3, serving prekindergarten through grade 8: Algonquin Road Elementary School serves PK–4, and Fox River Grove Middle School serves grades 5–8. Both schools had lower chronic absenteeism than the state in 2025–2026: 8% and 12%, respectively, compared with 24% statewide. The most important difference is in math: the elementary school was well above the state, while the middle school was below it.

Algonquin Road Elementary stands out in all-grades math, with 63% proficient in 2025–2026, 23 percentage points above the state’s 40%; Fox River Grove Middle had 28%, 11 points below the state. The schools’ math results differed by 35 points. In ELA, the middle school led with 66%, compared with 62% at the elementary school; both exceeded the statewide 56%, by 9 and 6 points, respectively. The middle school’s overall ELA result masks a sharp grade-level difference: grade 5 reached 85%, while grade 8 was 35%, 28 points below the grade 8 state result of 63%. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades results are not like-for-like comparisons.

ELA improved at both schools from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: by 2 points at Algonquin Road and 9 points at Fox River Grove Middle. Math moved in opposite directions: up 9 points at the elementary school and down 6 at the middle school. SchoolDigger’s latest rankings put the elementary school in the 71st percentile and the middle school in the 42nd; the middle school’s percentile fell 20 points from the previous year’s 62. The middle school also had a lower 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio (11.2 versus 13.2) and a lower share of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year (21% versus 24% at the elementary school); these are contextual differences, not explanations for test results.
