Bloomingdale School District 13

The Bloomingdale School District 13 in Illinois operates three schools: two elementary schools (Erickson Elementary School and Dujardin Elementary School) and one middle school (Westfield Middle School). The district is known for its strong academic performance, with Westfield Middle School consistently ranking among the top 40 middle schools in Illinois.

Westfield Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has particularly strong performance in English Language Arts, with over 89% of students proficient or better. The school's math and science proficiency rates are also well above the state averages. In comparison, the two elementary schools have more mixed results, with Erickson Elementary seeing a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, despite maintaining a 4-star rating. Both elementary schools have English Language Arts proficiency rates above the state average, but their math proficiency lags behind the district and state levels.

The district also shows some disparities in key metrics, such as chronic absenteeism rates and student-teacher ratios. Westfield Middle School has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate and the lowest student-teacher ratio, while the two elementary schools have higher rates in these areas. Additionally, the district spends the most per student at Westfield Middle School, which may contribute to its exceptional performance. However, the lack of free/reduced lunch data for the individual schools makes it difficult to assess potential equity issues within the district.
