Summary

Isaac Singleton Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Joliet, Illinois, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 288 students. The school is part of the Joliet PSD 86 district, which is ranked 755 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,395 to $18,380 over the past few years, Isaac Singleton Elementary consistently performs below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency levels across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.9% of all students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 29.9% for the district and 53.1% for the state. Similarly, only 17.5% of all students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 17% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.4% to 28.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Isaac Singleton Elementary School to other nearby schools within the same district, there are notable differences. For instance, Eisenhower Academy, located about 1.58 miles away, consistently outperforms Isaac Singleton in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, with over 90% of students meeting or exceeding standards in 2024-2025. This suggests that there may be significant variation in educational quality and resources within the same district. Despite these challenges, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American students and English Language Learners performing relatively better compared to other subgroups, such as students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
