Western Suburbs School Guide: Official 2025 Scores, Boundaries and Athletics
Reviewed September 24, 2026. This guide brings together official 2025 Illinois Report Card results, district boundary resources and dated athletic highlights for homebuyers exploring Elmhurst, Glen Ellyn, Lombard, Wheaton, Naperville, Downers Grove, Oak Brook, Hinsdale and Clarendon Hills.
Start with the address, then explore the school
A city name, subdivision name or real-estate listing does not establish school eligibility. Check the exact property address with the school district, including elementary, middle and high school assignments and any boundary changes. The schools below are selected local research starting points, not a promise that every home in a town attends one of them.
Scores are one part of a school visit. Ask about courses, arts, student support, extracurricular access, transportation and your student’s interests. Aggregate results describe groups of tested students; they do not predict an individual child’s experience or achievement.
What the official figures mean
All academic percentages and state designations below come from the 2025 ISBE Report Card Public Data Set, listed in the ISBE Data Library as updated May 14, 2026. High-school percentages use the ACT sheet’s total high-school assessment proficiency fields. Middle-school percentages use the IAR sheet’s total proficiency fields. ELA means English language arts. These are proficiency percentages, not average ACT composite scores or admission rates.
Illinois introduced new aligned proficiency benchmarks in 2025, and ACT replaced SAT as the state high-school assessment. These figures should not be read as a direct year-over-year gain against older SAT or proficiency percentages. See ISBE’s Report Card explanation.
The state’s annual summative designation is a category based on multiple indicators, not an ordinal ranking such as “No. 5 in Illinois.” This guide uses the exact categories in the state file rather than relabeling a private publisher’s ranking as a state ranking. See ISBE’s indicators of school success.
For context, the same 2025 file reports statewide high-school assessment proficiency of 51.7% ELA and 39.3% math, and statewide IAR proficiency of 53.1% ELA and 38.5% math. The assessments and grade groups differ, so the high-school and middle-school percentages should not be treated as a single league table.
