Better than 4% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

Stratton Elementary School serves 454 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Champaign, in Champaign CUSD 4. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear concern: all-grade proficiency was 23% in English language arts (ELA) and 19% in math, both well below district and state rates. The most important finding is that students are achieving below both benchmarks in each tested subject.

Stratton also trails nearby schools with the same K–5 grade span: their average proficiency was 37% in ELA and 32% in math, about 13 points higher than Stratton in each subject. ELA is especially far below district and state results: 23% compared with 43% in the district and 56% statewide; math was 19%, compared with 30% and 40%. Fifth-grade science was 30%, below district and state rates and 14 points below the average for nearby schools with reported results. Chronic absenteeism is another concern: Stratton’s rate was 39%, versus 32% in the district and 24% statewide. Only Garden Hills Elementary Academy and M L King Junior Elementary School had higher rates among nearby schools reporting attendance.

Test results have risen over three years, but Stratton’s relative standing has weakened: ELA proficiency increased from 13% in 2023–2024 to 23% in 2025–2026, and math from 14% to 19%, while the gap to state results grew in both subjects. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile fell from 22 to 12 to 4 over those years; its latest rating was zero stars. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 14.4:1, and 76% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings offer a more positive relative result for African American Students: the 2024–2025 percentile was 31, compared with 12 overall, though it had fallen from 52 in 2022–2023. For English Language Learner Students, the percentile dropped from 44 to 24 between 2023–2024 and 2024–2025.
