Riverside School District 96

We are thrilled that three of our schools were ranked in the top 50 of best public elementary schools in Cook County by Chicago Magazine! Students and staff work hard to make District 96 a great place to learn and grow. Congratulations to Blythe (14), Central (41), and Ames (49)! According to Chicago Magazine, performance measures were based on 2023-24 data which included IAR growth, attendance, and the 5Essentials survey. The list is featured in the September 2025 issue. Way to go, D96!
