Willow Grove Early Learning Ctr is a public elementary school that is part of the Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96 school district, located in Buffalo Grove, IL with about 310 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to Kindergarten. With about 23 teachers, Willow Grove Early Learning Ctr has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
