The district's elementary schools also demonstrate impressive results, with Ferson Creek School ranking 37th out of over 2,000 elementary schools in the state.

The district appears to allocate resources equitably, with per-student spending ranging from $15,500 to $21,900 across the schools.
While the St Charles school district overall is a high-performing system, the data also reveals some areas for potential improvement, such as addressing high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the high school level. Additionally, the inclusion of the Illinois Youth Center - St Charles, a school for juvenile offenders, provides a unique perspective, with significantly different performance metrics compared to the other district schools.
