Summary:
ZIP code 60106 has two elementary schools in Bensenville School District 2: Tioga Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 5 and enrolls 751 students, while W A Johnson School serves kindergarten through grade 5 and enrolls 619. The most important area-wide finding is that both schools are below the state in all-grades English and math: ELA proficiency is 44% at Tioga and 42% at Johnson, versus 56% statewide; math is 28% and 30%, versus 40% statewide.
Neither school leads across every subject, and their all-grades differences are small compared with their gaps from the state. Tioga is ahead in ELA by 2 percentage points and in grade 5 science by 5 points; its science result, 47.2%, nearly matches the state’s 47.5%. Johnson leads in all-grades math by 2 points. Grade-level results add useful distinctions: Tioga leads ELA in grades 3, 4 and 5, while Johnson leads math in grades 3 and 5 and Tioga leads in grade 4 math. In grade 5 ELA, Tioga is 2 points below the state; in grade 3 math, Johnson is 5 points above the district, while Tioga is 4 points below it.
Recent trends favor science but show no broad catch-up to the state in ELA or math. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the two-school average rose about 1 point in ELA while the state rose 3; the average fell 5 points in math while the state rose 1. Grade 5 science improved at both schools: Tioga gained 18 points and Johnson 9, compared with a 7-point state increase. SchoolDigger gives both schools one star; its statewide percentile is 27 for Tioga and 24 for Johnson, down 23 and 24 points, respectively, from 2023–2024. For 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratios were 11.7 at Tioga and 10.4 at Johnson; free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 61% and 56%. These are useful points of context, but the schools’ mixed subject and grade results do not point to one consistent advantage.
