Ccsd 180, IL - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Ccsd 180

CCSD 180 is a small public school district in DuPage County serving early childhood through eighth grade across two schools: Anne M. Jeans Elementary and Burr Ridge Middle School. With a total enrollment in the low hundreds, the district covers a small geographic footprint in the Lemont, Willowbrook, and Woodridge area.

The academic picture here warrants direct attention. On state assessments administered in the most recent school year, proficiency in math and English language arts ranges widely by grade. In math, third-grade proficiency sits in the upper range, but performance declines sharply through the middle grades, bottoming out in the sixth and eighth grades at very low levels. Reading shows more strength in the upper elementary grades, with notable gains in grades five and six, though this flattens again in grade seven. In eighth-grade English language arts, proficiency is substantially higher. Science proficiency in the tested grades (fifth and eighth) is low. These patterns suggest inconsistent skill development across grades and subjects. A parent evaluating this district would want to understand the curriculum and instructional changes underway, particularly in mathematics, where the downward trajectory across grades is pronounced.

In state-wide comparison, CCSD 180 sits in the bottom quartile of DuPage County districts on overall proficiency. The district also reports chronic absenteeism in the bottom quartile, indicating a potential engagement or access challenge that may compound academic gaps. Conversely, the district spends substantially more per student than the county median and far more than many peer districts, placing it in the upper spending range countywide.

Demographically, the student body is predominantly Black, with the majority of enrollment coming from that racial group. Asian, Hispanic, and multiracial students make up smaller shares. Free or reduced-price lunch eligibility data was not available, but the district recently opened a permanent weekly in-school food pantry at Anne M. Jeans Elementary, a concrete signal that food insecurity affects a meaningful portion of families here. This pantry operates weekly and was established in partnership with a local family services organization, representing a sustained commitment to economic support beyond the classroom.

The district encompasses three residential communities with different housing profiles. Lemont and Willowbrook both show weighted home values in the mid-range for the broader Chicago area, with modest annual appreciation. Rental housing in the area costs below the county average. The housing market in DuPage County overall shows balanced conditions with moderate supply and demand, and mortgage rates remain elevated at current levels, making affordability a consideration for potential homebuyers.

From a tax and spending perspective, CCSD 180 has not sought a property tax rate increase referendum in over a decade, a point publicly emphasized by the district. This reflects either efficient operations or constrained investment capacity, depending on one's read. The district receives substantial federal Impact Aid funding due to proximity to federal land, which bolsters resources alongside local property tax revenue. For families already in the community, this long-term tax-rate stability is an established feature.

Recent facility improvements include a large solar array installed on the Burr Ridge Middle School roof, reducing long-term energy costs and signaling investment in infrastructure. The food pantry opening at the elementary school reflects responsiveness to student and family need.

A parent considering CCSD 180 should look closely at the mathematics performance pattern and chronic absenteeism figures, and would benefit from asking the district directly about instructional strategies, curriculum updates, and why mid-grade mathematics shows such steep declines. The district's spending level is genuinely high for its region, so understanding how those dollars are deployed and what results they are expected to yield is an important conversation. For families already in the area, the school offers continuity from early childhood through eighth grade in a small, locally rooted setting, though students will transition to a separate high school district afterward.
