Summary:
The 60073 list includes 11 schools—seven elementary, three middle and one high—in Round Lake CUSD 116 and Grayslake CCSD 46. Most test results are from 2025–2026, and the schools’ reported results vary widely. The most important finding for families is that schools in the same ZIP code have sharply different achievement results.
Park East School leads listed schools in grade 3 and 4 ELA and math: its grade 3 ELA rate is 78%, compared with 16% at Raymond Ellis Elementary School, a 62-point gap. Park West School leads in middle-grade ELA and math and in several science results; its grade 5 ELA rate is 81%, versus 20% at Village Elementary School, a 61-point difference. At the lower end, Magee Middle School has 31% proficiency in grade 8 science, compared with Park West’s 72%. The only listed high school, Round Lake Senior High School, is below state ACT rates in all three reported subjects, including 15% in math versus 40% statewide.
Recent results show individual gains, but no clear narrowing of the overall state gap: in paired school-level comparisons, four of eight schools improved their ELA gap and four fell further behind, while the average gap widened from about 15 to 16 points below state rates; math showed the same four-and-four split. Park West School’s all-grades ELA result rose 7 points, and Magee Middle School’s rose 7 points. SchoolDigger ranks Park East at the 81st state percentile and Park West at the 72nd. As context, all schools report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025: 28% at Park West and 90% at Raymond Ellis. Chronic absenteeism ranges from 17% at Park West to 37% at Round Lake Senior High, compared with 24% statewide.
