Summary

Annette Officer Elementary serves 362 students in kindergarten through grade 4 in East Saint Louis, Illinois, within East St Louis School District 189. Its 2025–26 test scores were higher than the district’s, though below state results. The clearest bright spot is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 18%, below the district’s 46% and the state’s 24%, and the lowest among nearby schools with reported rates.

In 2025–26, 38% of students met proficiency in English language arts (ELA) and 30% in math. Both results were above the district—31% in ELA and 14% in math—but below the state, at 56% and 40%. Annette also scored above the averages for seven nearby schools with reported all-grades results: 38% versus 31% in ELA, and 30% versus 18% in math. Math is the clearer strength against district results, while ELA has the larger gap from the state. The nearby-school averages offer context, since those schools do not all serve the same grades.

Scores have risen overall since 2023–24, but the latest results slipped from their 2024–25 peaks: ELA is up 7 percentage points over the three years, while math is up 3; in the latest year, ELA fell 5 points and math 4. The state’s gains have widened the gap, particularly in ELA. SchoolDigger ranks Annette 1,452nd of 1,737 Illinois schools, at the 16th percentile and 1 star; its district is at the 4th percentile and 0 stars. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14.4, higher than the average of 12.6 at its four same-district peers. Annette reports that all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility) in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s subgroup standings also differ from its overall result: African American Students rank at the 31st percentile (2 stars), compared with 16th overall, while Female Students fell from the 59th percentile in 2023–24 to the 3rd in 2025–26.
