Data also showed that the majority of students identified themselves as Hispanic, making up 57% of the School District U-46's total enrollment.

Among the 10 districts in Kane County, Community Unit School District 300 ranked second in enrollment numbers with 20,122 students, while Aurora East Unit School District 131 welcomed 12,449 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Illinois has approved a new budget for 2025 that increases funds for K-12 education to $8.6 billion, $350 million above 2024.

Lawmakers also approved a new bill that creates a statewide child tax credit, which allows families to receive $300 per child under 17 years. This comes after a similar aid was granted from the federal government, as part of the American Rescue Plan.
