Summary

Charles Reed Elementary School is a public elementary school in Plainfield, Illinois, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Plainfield School District 202, which is ranked 303 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Charles Reed Elementary School has a student population of 622 and has been consistently ranked in the middle range of Illinois elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 796 and 1149 out of around 2,000 schools. The school's overall SchoolDigger rating has fluctuated between 2 and 3 stars out of 5. While the school's performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) in English Language Arts and Mathematics is generally lower than the district and state averages, its African American students perform relatively well compared to other Illinois elementary schools, ranking in the top 25% for this subgroup. However, the school's White and Hispanic student subgroups, as well as its English Language Learners and students with special needs, perform in the middle to lower range compared to other Illinois elementary schools.

One area of concern for Charles Reed Elementary School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 13.6% to 26.3% over the past few years, higher than the district and state averages. This may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. Nearby schools within the Plainfield School District 202, such as Wallin Oaks Elementary, River View Elementary, and Wesmere Elementary, generally outperform Charles Reed Elementary School on academic measures, but the school performs better than some nearby schools in the Minooka CCSD 201 district.
