The district's equity score is 33/100, ranked #492 of 763 in Illinois against a state average of 38, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 628.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 12.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

That concentration means Kildeer Countryside Ccsd 96-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: middle. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Kildeer Countryside Ccsd 96 student-counselor ratio is 629:1: well above typical (strongly associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above the benchmark warrant a closer look at the underlying sub-units rather than treating the aggregate as representative.
Kildeer Countryside Ccsd 96 chronic absenteeism rate is 12.6%: on the low side (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
