Summary

In Channahon, Illinois, Pioneer Path is a 244-student elementary school serving grades 3–4 in Channahon School District 17. In 2025–2026, 72% of students were proficient in ELA and 59% in math. The clearest takeaway is that Pioneer Path led nearby schools with comparable grade spans in ELA and ranked second in math.

Its results are well above state levels in both subjects: ELA was 16 percentage points above Illinois, and math was 19 points above. Compared with the district, however, Pioneer Path was 4 points lower in ELA and 1 point lower in math. Among eight nearby grade-span peers, its ELA result exceeded the 60% average and the next-highest score, 67.4% at Walnut Trails Elementary School. Its math result was also above the 53% peer average, though below Walnut Trails’ nearby-leading 66.7%. Fourth-grade math is a relative soft spot: Pioneer Path scored 56%, down from 63% in third grade, and ranked fifth among ten schools with results; it was still 14 points above the state and matched the district’s reported fourth-grade result.

ELA proficiency rose steadily, from 47% in 2023–2024 to 65% in 2024–2025 and 72% in 2025–2026. Math climbed to 71% in 2024–2025 before falling 12 points to 59%; it remains well above the state. SchoolDigger ranks Pioneer Path 396th of 1,737 statewide, at the 77th percentile with 4 stars; its percentile is down 8 points from 2024–2025 and trails nearby Walnut Trails’ 80th percentile. Attendance is a positive additional signal: chronic absenteeism was 8%, versus 11% in the district, 24% statewide and a 13% average among nearby schools. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 11.8, compared with a nearby average of 12.3. Pioneer Path reported 24% free/reduced lunch eligible for the 2023–2024 school year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup standing is notably lower for Special Education Students: the 2025–2026 percentile was 33, compared with 77 overall, after dropping 45 points from the prior year. Its White Students percentile was 55, also below the overall ranking.
