Westmoor Elem School

Westmoor Elementary School serves 352 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Northbrook, Illinois. It earns a composite score of 9.9 out of 10, with a perfect 10.0 in academics and a 9.9 in growth — both rated Exceptional. The student-teacher ratio sits at 9.8 to 1, giving students more direct access to instruction than most public schools provide.

The numbers behind Westmoor's standing are striking. It ranks 3rd out of 3,813 public schools statewide and 2nd out of 2,326 elementary schools in Illinois, outperforming 100% of Illinois schools across the board. Among Northbrook schools specifically, it holds the 2nd spot out of 11.

Those figures reflect consistent, measurable performance — not a single strong year. For families comparing elementary options in the Chicago suburbs, Westmoor offers a rare combination: strong academic outcomes and strong growth scores together. High academic scores can sometimes mask slower growth for lower-achieving students, but Westmoor's 9.9 growth rating signals that students across performance levels are advancing.

The school's small class sizes likely reinforce that trend. Parents searching for a public elementary school where both achievement and progress are well-documented will find Westmoor hard to overlook.

With a student-teacher ratio of 9.8:1, Westmoor Elem School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
