Summary

Stuart R Paddock School is a PK–5 elementary school in Palatine, serving 348 students in Palatine CCSD 15; it has the smallest enrollment among the 10 nearby schools in this comparison. Its 2025–26 results show broad academic strength: Paddock exceeded state and district proficiency rates in English language arts, math and fifth-grade science, and ranked third among the 10 schools in each subject.

Paddock’s strongest results are consistent across subjects. All-grades proficiency was 71% in ELA, 56% in math and 67% in fifth-grade science—about 16, 15 and 17 percentage points above the nearby-school averages, respectively. Its leads over the state were 14 points in ELA, 17 in math and 20 in science; its leads over the district were 10, 13 and 13 points. Fifth-grade ELA is a particular bright spot: 82% proficient, second among nearby schools, behind Marion Jordan Elementary School. Fourth-grade ELA is less exceptional: Paddock ranked fourth nearby, and its district lead was less than a point. Chronic absenteeism was also comparatively low at 12%, below the district’s 16% and the state’s 24%, and third-lowest among the nearby schools.

Results have improved notably over time, especially in ELA: proficiency rose from 37% in 2023–24 to 71% in 2025–26, while math increased from 35% to 56%, despite a 2-point dip in the latest year. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 64th percentile to the 76th, where it remained in 2025–26; the school had four stars. Paddock’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 12.5, the lowest among nearby schools. Its 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible share was 17%, below the nearby-school average of 34%; this is context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for effectiveness for Hispanic students was notably lower than its overall ranking: the group was at the 30th percentile in 2023–24, compared with 64th overall. For English Language Learner students, the ranking climbed 41 percentile points, from 12 in 2021–22 to 53 in 2023–24.
