Eastview Elem School, Algonquin IL

Original Research by School Decision on Eastview Elem School

Eastview Elementary is a standard public school serving early grades (pre-K through fifth) in Algonquin, a suburban community northwest of Chicago that straddles McHenry and Kane counties. The school enrolls a small-to-moderate population of students, with a racial and ethnic makeup that is majority white, with a substantial Hispanic population and smaller Asian and multiracial groups. Specific counts for free-or-reduced-price lunch and English learner enrollment were not available in the data, so parents seeking detail on socioeconomic composition or language support services may want to contact the school directly.

On state assessments, Eastview shows uneven performance. In English language arts, the school performs well in grades four and five, where proficiency rates are solidly above the midpoint. Third-grade English performance is notably lower. Math tells a different story: third-grade math proficiency is well below the school's own fourth and fifth-grade performance, while grades four and five show stronger attainment in math than in reading. Science proficiency in fifth grade is the weakest area across all results. The school sits in the top quartile of its county peer group on overall proficiency, a meaningful strength when set against the full range of McHenry County elementary schools, though variation across grades and subjects suggests uneven mastery within the building.

Data on school size, staff, special education and language learner services, discipline, and specific academic programming was not available. The school's website was not provided, so interested families would need to visit the district website or contact the school to learn about classroom structure, enrichment offerings, Title I status or interventions, or teacher credentials.

Algonquin itself is a mixed suburban landscape. It has grown substantially over the past two decades, with residential and commercial development concentrated along the Randall Road corridor west of the historic downtown. The village is very car-dependent overall, though the Old Town district along the Fox River has been revitalized with streetscape improvements and locally owned shops. Major employers include Motorola Solutions and Walgreens, plus large retail anchors like Algonquin Commons. Housing values in the 60102 zip code are near the state benchmark and above the national benchmark, and both home prices and rents have been appreciating. Families considering the area should know that considerable new residential development is planned or underway, including large-scale subdivisions and townhome projects, which school officials publicly acknowledge will add enrollment pressure over the next decade.

The school's parent district, CUSD 300, recently redrew high school attendance boundaries to manage growth at Hampshire High, which is approaching capacity. The district is also weighing a major facilities referendum, currently planned for November 2026, to fund capital improvements tied to aging buildings and enrollment growth. This decision will have direct tax implications for homeowners, making it an important item for families evaluating whether to move into the area.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
