Summary

Edna Keith Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in Joliet, Illinois, with 402 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edna Keith Elementary School faces significant challenges related to academic achievement, with only 12.4% of students proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to 53.1% and 38.5% statewide, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.8% to 16.4% in ELA and 7.8% to 16.4% in Math. Additionally, the school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) for 5th grade is very low, with only 5.1% of students proficient or better, compared to 40.6% statewide. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 42.0% over the past few years, significantly above the state average.

While the nearby schools in the Joliet PSD 86 district also perform below state averages, they generally outperform Edna Keith Elementary School. However, Eisenhower Academy, a school in a neighboring district (Laraway CCSD 70C), stands out as a high-performing school, with significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. Despite the low performance, Edna Keith Elementary School spends a relatively high amount per student, and the student-teacher ratio is also relatively high, suggesting that resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning.
