Summary

Otis P Graves Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Summit, Illinois, with 552 students. The school is part of the Summit School District 104, which is ranked 576 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Otis P Graves Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state and its own district on standardized tests, with only 33.1% of students proficient or better in ELA and 34.9% in Math, compared to 53.1% and 38.5% statewide, respectively. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.3% to 26.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 82.43% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Otis P Graves Elementary School's performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools in the same district, such as Dr. Donald Wharton Elementary School and Walsh Elementary School, which have higher proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings. The high rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low academic achievement at Otis P Graves Elementary School suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in terms of student and family support, resource allocation, and instructional practices.
