About Our School

Elmwood School was built in 1960 in the West Highlands area of Naperville.  An addition was completed in 1965 which transformed the existing building into a four-section school designed for approximately 650 students.  The Elmwood Parent Community and the parents of this community have high expectations for the education of their children and place a high priority on involvement. 

Elmwood School is a center for a  number of district programs which include eight sections of the district early childhood program and an ELL classroom.  Transportation  is provided for students enrolled in these programs.  While the majority of the students attending Elmwood School live within walking distance, approximately 25% of our student ride to school on buses. Elmwood students continue their education at Lincoln Junior High School and Naperville Central High School.

A statistical description of the Elmwood School students is available from the data collected in the 20207-2008 Public School Fall Housing Report and the 2008 Illinois School Report Card. The 2008 Illinois School  Report Card is not yet available. The statistical description of Elmwood School does not show any significant difference when compared to the total district demographic profile.  More detailed information is found in the District 2008 Illinois School Report Card.
