Best Public Schools in Fox River Grove, IL

Summary:

The city of Fox River Grove, Illinois is home to two schools: Algonquin Road Elementary School and Fox River Grove Middle School, which serve students in the Fox River Grove Cons School District 3. Based on the available data, Algonquin Road Elementary School appears to be the standout performer, consistently ranking higher than the district and state averages on standardized test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

In contrast, Fox River Grove Middle School is performing below the district and state averages on many metrics.

The data suggests a substantial performance gap between the elementary and middle school, with Algonquin Road Elementary consistently outperforming Fox River Grove Middle School. This indicates potential issues with the transition or curriculum alignment between the two schools. Additionally, the steady decline in the middle school's performance warrants further investigation to understand the root causes and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
