Summary

Coleman Elementary School serves 641 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade in Elgin, within School District U-46. In 2025–2026, students reached 33% proficiency in English language arts (ELA), 17% in math and 16% in fifth-grade science; all three results were below district and state figures. Science is the clearest weakness: its 16% result was 19 percentage points below the district and 31 points below the state, and was the lowest among six nearby schools with reported science results.

ELA is the school’s comparatively strongest result against nearby U-46 schools: its 33% all-grade rate was just 0.4 percentage points below their average, and ranked fifth among the nine U-46 schools including Coleman. Sixth-grade ELA stands out in particular, at 55% compared with 51% districtwide and the third-highest result among eight U-46 schools with reported scores. Math is weaker by comparison: the 17% rate was third-lowest among 11 nearby schools and about 4 percentage points below the U-46-school average. Grade-level results vary, too: third-grade math was 23%, with only one of nine U-46 schools lower, while fourth-grade math was 13%, the lowest among five U-46 schools with a reported result.

ELA has improved substantially, rising 20 percentage points since 2023–2024, while math gained 9 points over the same period but slipped from 19% in 2024–2025 to 17% in 2025–2026. Despite the ELA rise, SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking fell from the 19th percentile and 1 star to the 9th percentile and 0 stars. The school’s 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 70%, close to the nearby-school average of 68%; its student-teacher ratio was 17.1, compared with a nearby average of about 16.2. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure placed English Language Learner Students at the 26th percentile in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 9th percentile; Disabled Students were at the 37th percentile in 2024–2025, up from the 12th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 19th percentile in 2024–2025.
