Bouchet Elementary faces significant challenges, with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.4% to 51.4% in recent years. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently well below the district and state averages, with some grade levels performing as low as 1.1% proficiency in math. The school's performance for student subgroups, such as African American students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of Illinois elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as O'Keeffe Elementary, Parkside Elementary, and Madison Elementary, also struggle academically but generally perform better than Bouchet Elementary across various metrics. Despite spending significantly more per student ($20,172 in 2023-2024) compared to the district average, Bouchet Elementary's academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting that resource allocation may not be optimized.
