Summary

Charter Oak Primary School is an elementary school in Peoria, Illinois, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Peoria School District 150. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with particularly strong performance in 3rd and 4th-grade ELA. Charter Oak Primary School also excels in serving its African American and Special Education student populations, ranking in the top 25% and top 40% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, the school's low-income students perform well, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools in this subgroup. Interestingly, among the nearby schools, Kellar Primary School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently outperforming Charter Oak Primary School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Dr. C.T. Vivian Primary School and Hines Primary School, also part of the Peoria School District 150, have significantly lower academic performance compared to Charter Oak Primary School.

One area of concern for Charter Oak Primary School is its fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, which have been higher than the state average in recent years. Addressing the factors contributing to high chronic absenteeism could be an important focus for the school to improve overall student outcomes. Additionally, the school's White and Male student populations have lower rankings, falling in the bottom 50% of Illinois elementary schools, which may be an area for the school to address.

This school is a shining star in a very dim-lit school district. The teachers are amazing. The superintendent is not. But if you want to live in Peoria itself Charter Oak is an amazing school to be a part of. Up until 2013 it was a 5-star school. In 2014 it dropped to only 1 star because of the attacks that came from the administration and the dismantling of a great school. Luckily, there are some fantastic teachers who have been trained under good leadership, even if that leadership has been removed. Close Quote

My son went here from Kindergarten till 2nd grade and hated every day of school. There were a large amount of children who were unruly and loved to fight and bully other students. Some of the teachers here also bullied the children including my son who was having trouble with reading skills. My son's first grade teacher was a total nightmare! She was always pointing him out in the class when he did something she did not like (for example..picking at his shoelaces during rug time) and constantly belittling him. She had the audacity to tell me that my son HAD ADHD and needed to be medicated.. which was a total joke because the teacher had no medical background and had no right to try to diagnose my child. This teacher also told me that my son was not learning to read properly and that she "exhausted all options in helping him". Which was a total lie since there were other resources available. This school is a total dump. I hate it and so did my son. We transferred out of the district and now my son is a straight A student and loves school. Praise God! Close Quote
