Earl H Hanson Elementary School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 34.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools for Asian students and the bottom 50% for African American students in ELA proficiency. Despite spending more per student ($15,337) compared to the district average ($12,833), the school's academic outcomes have not shown significant improvement over the years.
