LEARN John Kathy Schreiber Charter has shown steady improvement in its academic performance, with its statewide ranking improving from 1674 out of 2037 Illinois elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 948 out of 2056 in 2024-2025. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (66%) and Mathematics (35%) were significantly higher than the state averages (53.1% and 38.5%, respectively). Compared to nearby Waukegan public schools, LEARN John Kathy Schreiber Charter outperformed them in both ELA and Math proficiency across all grade levels.

However, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.1% to 26.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $12,915 to $13,793 in recent years, and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 13.3, suggest that it is investing significant resources into its educational program, which may be contributing to its academic outcomes. The contrast between the school's strong performance in most student subgroups and its struggles with Special Education students highlights the need for the school to closely examine its support and interventions for this population.
