Nearby schools, such as Carver Primary School, Washington G Elementary School, and Grissom Elementary School, also struggle academically, with most ranking in the bottom 30-50% of Illinois elementary schools. However, some nearby schools, like Grissom Elementary School and Washington G Elementary School, perform significantly better than Clay Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds may be contributing factors to Clay Elementary School's consistently low academic performance.
