Summary:
Zip code 60069 has one middle school, Daniel Wright Junior High School, serving grades 6–8 in Lincolnshire-Prairieview School District 103. In 2025–2026, the school’s proficiency was well above Illinois results in every reported subject, the clearest overall finding for local families.
Because it is the only school in the list, there is no local top-or-bottom comparison; against the state, however, Daniel Wright stands out in all three reported results. Its all-grade proficiency was 90% in English language arts (ELA), 79% in math, and 85% in eighth-grade science, compared with Illinois rates of 56%, 40%, and 52%—advantages of 34, 39, and 33 percentage points. The grade-level results were also above their same-grade state comparisons throughout: ELA ranged from 89% to 92%, while math ranged from 72% to 84%. Grade 7 had the highest score in both subjects; grade 6 math was the lowest reported subject-and-grade result, at 72%, still 36 points above the state.
Scores remain high, but the school’s lead over Illinois narrowed in each year-over-year comparison. ELA was essentially unchanged at 90% while the state rose from 53% to 56%; math declined from 83% to 79%, and eighth-grade science from 88% to 85%, as state results increased in both subjects. The school’s advantages narrowed by 3 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 10 in science. SchoolDigger gives Daniel Wright five stars and ranks it 26th of 1,126 schools, at the 98th percentile.
