Summary:
The three schools in Westview Elementary School (grades 3–5), Wood Dale Junior High School (grades 6–8), and Oakbrook Elementary School (K–2) are part of Wood Dale School District 7 and enroll 805 students combined. Test results are supplied for the two older schools, but not Oakbrook; because the tested schools serve different grades, their overall results do not make a grade-matched comparison. The most important takeaway is that the tested schools show different strengths—ELA at the junior high and a closer-to-state math result at Westview—rather than a clear overall winner.
Wood Dale Junior High School stands out in ELA and grade 8 science: its 2025–2026 ELA result was 66%, 10 percentage points above the state’s 56%, and grade 8 science was 67%, 15 points above the state’s 52%. Westview Elementary School stands out in grade 5 science, at 55% compared with 48% statewide, and was slightly above the state in all-grades math, 41% to 40%. Its ELA result was lower, at 45% versus 56% statewide. The junior high’s all-grades math was 39%, close to the state’s 40%. These strengths vary by subject and grade, rather than placing one school consistently ahead.
Results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 at both tested schools: Westview’s ELA rose 5 percentage points and math rose 7, while the junior high’s ELA rose 11 points and math rose 11. Science also increased, by 16 points in Westview grade 5 and 27 points in junior high grade 8. SchoolDigger rates Westview at the 38th percentile with 2 stars and the junior high at the 60th percentile with 3 stars; their recent ranking histories moved in opposite directions, down 2 percentile points for Westview and up 5 for the junior high. Westview’s student-teacher ratio is 13.6, compared with 10.9 at the junior high. For context, free/reduced lunch eligible shares in the 2024–2025 school year were 63% at Westview, 57% at the junior high, and 45% at Oakbrook; these figures describe the schools, not the reason for their results.
