About H C Storm Elem School
H C Storm Elementary School serves 360 students in Batavia, Illinois, from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. The school earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — built on an academic score of 8.9 and a growth score of 9.7. That growth figure is the standout: it measures how much students actually advance year over year, not just where they start.
The statewide data confirms what the scores suggest. Storm ranks #1 among all eight public schools in Batavia and sits 57th out of 2,326 elementary schools across Illinois — outperforming 98% of all Illinois public schools. For an elementary school in a mid-size city, that level of consistency across both achievement and growth is uncommon.
A student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 gives teachers more time with each student than most Illinois classrooms allow. Storm operates as a regular public school, meaning these results reflect a general attendance zone rather than a selective admissions program. Families comparing options within Batavia will find few schools anywhere in Illinois that match this performance profile.
