About Elmwood Elementary School

Welcome to Elmwood Elementary School, home of the Panthers!

Located in the Near West Chicago suburb of Elmwood Park, Ill., Elmwood Elementary provides a comprehensive, standards-based public education to 516 students in grades K-5 as part of Elmwood Park Community Unit School District 401. Prior to 2020-21, we taught students in grades 1-6. (Sixth graders now attend Elm Middle School.)

In the most recent edition of the annual Illinois Report Cards, which covered the 2019-20 school year, we received a summative designation of Commendable School.

Along with John Mills Elementary, we are one of the District's two elementary schools.
