The school also has higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.2% to 19.2% over the past few years, compared to the district's 11.8% to 15%. Additionally, Kouts Elementary School has seen a steady increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 19.94% in 2021-2022 to 31.66% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district average.

When comparing Kouts Elementary School to other nearby schools, such as Kankakee Valley Intermediate School, Central Elementary School, and Morgan Township Elementary School, Kouts generally performs below the average in test scores, with the exception of 3rd and 4th-grade Math, where it is closer to or exceeds the district and state averages. The school's declining performance and lower academic achievement compared to nearby schools may be influenced by the increasing percentage of students from low-income families, as well as the higher chronic absenteeism rates, which could be areas of focus for improvement.
