Summary

Olive C Martin School serves 511 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Lake Villa, as part of Lake Villa CCSD 41. Its latest all-grades results were 45% proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 35% in mathematics; the school was near the state average in math and above its district, but below both in ELA. The clearest concern is fifth grade: just 14% were proficient in math and 28% in science, compared with 36% and 48% statewide.

Mathematics is the school’s stronger subject overall: its 35% proficiency was 5 percentage points below the state’s 40% but 2 points above the district’s 33%. ELA was 45%, 12 points below the state and 7 points below the district. Third grade is a brighter spot: 50% were proficient in both ELA and math, above state results in both subjects. By contrast, Olive C Martin’s fifth-grade math result was higher only than Raymond Ellis Elementary School among the five nearby schools with reported results; its fifth-grade science score was third-lowest among seven schools. For overall SchoolDigger rankings, it placed sixth of nine nearby schools with reported rankings.

Scores have improved since 2023–2024, but slipped from the prior year: ELA rose 9 points over the full period to 45%, while math rose 15 points to 35%; both peaked in 2024–2025. The latest SchoolDigger ranking was the 29th percentile in Illinois, down 25 percentile points from the year before, and earned 1 star. One notable group result is Female Students: their SchoolDigger statewide percentile was 8 in 2025–2026, compared with 29 overall, down from 58 the previous year—a sharp drop in the school’s ranked effectiveness for that group. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 12.2, and 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; these are context measures, not explanations for achievement.
