Summary

Sator Sanchez Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 631 students in grades K-5 in Joliet, Illinois, which is part of the Joliet PSD 86 district. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly from low-income families.

Sator Sanchez Elementary School's academic performance is well below state and district averages, with only 20.2% of students proficient or better in ELA and 9.8% in Math, compared to 53.1% and 38.5% statewide, respectively. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years. Additionally, Sator Sanchez has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 33.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 95%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

The struggles faced by Sator Sanchez Elementary School are reflective of the broader challenges within the Joliet PSD 86 district, as nearby schools such as Woodland Elementary, Farragut Elementary, and Edna Keith Elementary also perform poorly on standardized tests and have high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach that addresses the root causes of the problems.
