Best Public Schools in Aurora, IL

Summary:

The city of Aurora, Illinois is home to 44 schools, including 28 elementary schools, 11 middle schools, and 5 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with significant disparities in academic achievement across the district.

The standout schools in Aurora include Waubonsie Valley High School and Metea Valley High School, which consistently rank among the top in the state with 5-star ratings and high proficiency rates on standardized tests. At the middle school level, Still Middle School and Francis Granger Middle School also stand out with 5-star and 4-star ratings and significantly higher proficiency rates on the IAR tests compared to the state and district averages. Among the elementary schools, Gwendolyn Brooks Elementary and Reba O Steck Elementary in the Indian Prairie CUSD 204 district are high-performing, with 5-star and 4-star ratings and proficiency rates well above the state and district averages.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools, such as East High School, struggling with much lower proficiency rates on standardized tests. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the systemic inequities within the Aurora East Unified School District 131 and Aurora West Unified School District 129.
