Summary

Stuart R Paddock School is an elementary school in Palatine, Illinois, serving 610 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Palatine CCSD 15 district.

This school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with 63.1% of students proficient or better in ELA and 58% proficient or better in Math, compared to 55.1% and 42.9% for the district, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd grade, where 60.4% of students are proficient in ELA and 66% are proficient in Math. However, the school's performance for Hispanic and White student subgroups is relatively lower, ranking 673rd and 681st out of Illinois elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's academic excellence, it faces some challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.6% in 2021-2022 to 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the district's rate of 17.1%. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.9 is higher than the district average of 11.5, suggesting a potential need for more equitable resource allocation to maintain and improve its academic performance. Nearby schools like Pleasant Hill Elementary and Marion Jordan Elementary stand out as high-performing, outpacing the district and state averages, which may be correlated with their lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
