Ccsd 89, IL - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Ccsd 89

Community Consolidated School District 89 is a small district serving kindergarten through eighth grade across a carefully defined part of DuPage County. The district operates five schools: four elementary buildings and one middle school serving Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, Downers Grove, and Lombard.

In the most recent state assessment results, CCSD 89 shows a pattern that mirrors many mid-sized districts across Illinois: stronger performance in the elementary grades that narrows as students progress into middle school. In English language arts, third and fourth graders show proficiency rates in the upper 70s, while fifth grade holds closer to 60 percent. By sixth grade, the rate rebounds to roughly the same level, then dips through seventh and eighth. Mathematics follows a steeper trajectory: third grade proficiency is solid, but by fourth grade it drops to around 70 percent, and continues to decline through the middle grades, reaching roughly 37 percent by eighth grade. Science proficiency sits around 58 percent in fifth grade and drops to just under 50 percent by eighth grade. The district participates fully in state testing, with participation rates at or near 100 percent across grades and subjects.

Across the district's tested grades, the overall proficiency picture places CCSD 89 below the midpoint among DuPage County's districts. A parent may want to look into whether the school can speak to the math decline specifically and what interventions or supports exist for students who are struggling with grade-level content as they move toward secondary school.

Enrollment is stable at a little over 2,200 students. The student body reflects the communities the district serves: about 59 percent white, with meaningful representation of Asian students (roughly 15 percent) and Hispanic students (roughly 16 percent). Smaller populations of Black students and students of two or more races make up the remaining share. Free and reduced-price lunch data was not available, so a parent cannot assess economic disadvantage from this report.

The district's schools are clustered in affluent to upper-middle-income suburbs. Housing values across the four communities served by CCSD 89 center around half a million dollars. Glen Ellyn, the largest contributor to the district's weighted housing data, sits in the upper range, while Lombard sits lower. All four towns show modest home appreciation year over year. Rents in the area average around twenty-four hundred dollars per month. This is a housing market where the purchase-to-income ratio runs above six, meaning affordability is constrained for many families relative to local household incomes.

One concrete district initiative that may matter to families: in June 2022, publicly reported, voters approved a bond referendum with strong support. The measure funded repairs and replacements across all five schools, including roof work at three buildings, energy-efficient heating upgrades, parking lot resurfacing, and redesigned secure entrances at two elementary schools. Because all five schools are more than thirty years old, this capital investment addresses deferred maintenance and modernization on a district-wide basis. For families weighing where to live, the condition and security upgrades represent a durable improvement to the physical plant.

The district's chronic absenteeism rate sits near the median for DuPage County, suggesting attendance is not a standout issue. Per-pupil spending falls in the lower half of the county's range, though the dollar amounts cannot be stated here.

CCSD 89 does not serve high school grades, so no graduation rate is reported. Demographic data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available, limiting a fuller picture of how the district's supports are distributed.
