Summary

Located in Summit, Illinois, Otis P Graves Elementary School serves 562 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 and is part of Summit School District 104. Its results are mixed: ELA and math proficiency are below state averages, although math is close to the district result. The most serious concern is fifth-grade science: 21% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 28% districtwide, 48% statewide and an average of 44% at nearby schools with reported results.

Math is Otis’s strongest subject relative to local and public benchmarks, while ELA has a larger shortfall. Across tested grades, 33% were proficient in math, compared with 34% in the district and 40% statewide; Otis was also 4 points below the average for nearby K–5 schools. ELA proficiency was 40%, below the district’s 49%, the state’s 56% and the nearby K–5 average of 54%. Results vary by grade: fourth-grade ELA was a relative strength, but third- and fifth-grade ELA were the lowest among nearby K–5 schools reporting those grades. Fifth-grade math was also the lowest among nearby K–5 schools with reported scores, at 21%, compared with 29% to 53% at those schools.

ELA has improved substantially, rising from 12% in 2023–2024 to 40% in 2025–2026, while math rose from 11% to 33% over the same period but fell 2 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks Otis at the 20th percentile statewide and gives it 1 star for 2025–2026; its student-teacher ratio was 13.3 in 2024–2025. Otis reported that 97% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, above the 69% average among nearby schools reporting the same measure. Attendance is a positive: chronic absenteeism was 16% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 18% and the state’s 24%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for English Language Learner Students shifted sharply, from the 17th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 64th in 2024–2025 and the 25th in 2025–2026, indicating considerable movement in its ranking of how well the school serves this group.
