While the districts are ranked 408 and 339 out of 813 in Illinois, respectively, and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the performance of individual schools within the area varies significantly.

Landmark Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with 90.3% of students proficient or better in ISA/Science, and strong proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics as well. Valley View Elementary School also excels, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the elementary schools, as well as the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 12.3%. At the middle school level, Parkland School has the highest proficiency rates in the district, particularly in Science.

The data also reveals some challenges, with the relatively lower performance of McHenry Community High School compared to the elementary schools, suggesting that there may be unique obstacles at the high school level that need to be addressed. Additionally, the correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates, highlights the importance of addressing equity and access to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
