Saratoga CCSD 60C

Saratoga CCSD 60C has one listed school, Saratoga Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through eighth grade, with 786 students; there are no other listed schools for local comparison. The most important finding is that the school’s 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency was above Illinois in both ELA—63% versus 56%, a 7-point advantage—and math—45% versus 40%, a 5-point advantage.

Within the school, results vary by grade and subject: eighth-grade ELA stands out at 86% proficient, 23 points above the state, while third-grade math reached 63%, 14 points above. Fourth-grade ELA is the clearest weak spot: 48% proficient, 8 points below Illinois. Grade 5 science was 50%, 3 points above the state, while grade 8 science was 51%, 1 point below. These results show why the all-grades averages do not tell the full story: the strongest results are in eighth-grade ELA and third-grade math, but fourth-grade ELA trails the state.

Overall results remain above the state, but the school’s lead narrowed from the previous year. ELA proficiency fell from 67% in 2024–2025 to 63% in 2025–2026 as Illinois rose from 53% to 56%, shrinking the school’s advantage by 7 points; math fell from 49% to 45% as the state rose from 39% to 40%, narrowing the advantage by 6 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking also shifted from the 70th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 52nd percentile in 2025–2026; it gives the school 3 stars. As context, the student-teacher ratio was 11.9 in 2024–2025, and 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. Chronic absenteeism was 14% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 24%.
