Summary:
Gen George Patton School District 133 in Illinois contains a single elementary school, Gen George Patton Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school and district have consistently struggled with low academic performance, with the elementary school ranking in the bottom 10% of Illinois schools in recent years.
Gen George Patton Elementary School faces significant challenges, including low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (15.5%) and Mathematics (11.2%) that are well below the state averages. The school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment is also concerning, with only 17.6% of 5th graders and 14.3% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding standards. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is likely contributing to the poor academic outcomes.
Socioeconomic factors may also be playing a role, as the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (57.62%) and the overall district ranking is 805 out of 811 in Illinois, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing districts in the state. The school's small student-teacher ratio of 13.1 suggests that class sizes are relatively small, but the combination of low performance, high absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges indicates that the school and district will likely need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve educational outcomes for their students.
