Summary

Coleman Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Elgin, Illinois, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 655. The school is part of the School District U-46, which is ranked 594 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, Coleman Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1456 and 1843 out of over 2,000 schools.

Academically, Coleman Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the School District U-46 and the state of Illinois in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. For the 2024-2025 school year, only 29% of Coleman students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 43.1% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, only 18.7% of Coleman students were proficient or better, compared to 31.5% for the district and 38.5% for the state. Additionally, Coleman Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 34.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Coleman Elementary to other nearby schools within the same district, such as Channing Memorial Elementary and Century Oaks Elementary, both within a 2.5-mile radius, it becomes clear that Coleman is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the large percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may be contributing factors to the school's academic underperformance, which has been a persistent issue over the past 10 years.
