St. Charles Community Unit School District 303
Community Unit School District 303 is a comprehensive K-12 public education system covering 57 square miles (150 km2) in the Fox Valley, 40 miles (64 km) west of Chicago.
District 303 serves about 13,590 students from the City of St. Charles and portions of West Chicago, South Elgin, Wayne, Campton Hills, Elburn, a very small portion of Elgin and unincorporated Kane County.
When formal school districts were originally created in the late 19th century and early 20th century, they were usually drawn along township boundaries. However, legislation was passed in 1946-47 that encouraged school districts to consolidate. Community Unit School District 303 was born in 1949 when, through a referendum, voters approved consolidating High School District 150, Elementary District 87 and Little Woods District 79.
People served by the Wasco two-year high school program voted in 1950 to consolidate with District 303 after another change in state law eliminated two-year high schools.
The district operates 12 elementary schools (including the new Fox Ridge), two middle schools, and two high schools, serving about 13,590 students. Athletes from both high schools belong to the DuKane Conference
In 2010, the school district decided to combine Davis, an overcrowded elementary school, and Richmond, a failing school that was only at 50% capacity, to create Davis Primary (grades K-2) and Richmond Intermediate (grades 3-5). The schools are close together so transportation was easy. The school days at Richmond were made 40 minutes longer. Spanish and French language courses were offered and every student was given their own tablet.
Lincoln Elementary was built in 1928, unfortunately, Lincoln will be closing and had it last school year of the 2023-2024 school year, Lincoln will be repurposed and used for Staff Meetings and PTO Meetings as the former Haines Middle School was used for, will now become an Early Childhood Center.
District 303's composite ACT score for 2005 was 21.8 compared to a state average of 20.1. 81.7 percent of all District 303 students met or exceeded state learning standards in 2005 (85.8 percent ISAT; 70.4 percent Prairie State Achievement Exam.) Statewide, an average of 64.9 percent of all students met or exceeded state learning standards in 2005 (68.9 percent ISAT; 54.9 percent PSAE.)
