Trico Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 44.7% compared to the state average of 53.1%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 25.6% compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, with its Hispanic and White student populations ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Illinois elementary schools. Additionally, Trico Elementary School has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.8% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Elverado Primary School, Carruthers Elementary School, and Pinckneyville Elementary School, Trico Elementary School's performance is generally lower, with these schools tending to have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and more favorable student-teacher ratios. The school's lower spending per student compared to nearby schools may also be a contributing factor to its overall academic underperformance.
