Summary

Haskell STEAM Academy is a K–5 school serving 301 students in Rockford, in Rockford School District 205, an area with several nearby elementary and charter schools. The clearest takeaway is that Haskell’s latest results are substantially stronger than state and district results across ELA, math and fifth-grade science, and its all-grades ELA score leads nearby K–5 schools with reported results.

In 2025–26, Haskell’s all-grades ELA proficiency was 66%, compared with 56% statewide and 35% in the district; it was also 46 points above the average of nearby K–5 schools with reported scores. Math was 50%, versus 40% statewide and 21% in the district, and higher than the four nearby K–5 schools with reported results. Fifth-grade science was 66%, 19 points above the state and 36 above the district, and the highest among nearby schools with reported fifth-grade scores. There is a notable grade-level exception: third-grade math was 40%, 10 points below the state and below West View Elementary School at 53%; Haskell’s fourth- and fifth-grade math were stronger than the state and reported nearby results.

Haskell’s ELA results have climbed from 43% in 2023–24 to 66% in 2025–26, while math rose overall from 38% to 50% after reaching 52% the year before. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 53% in 2021–22 to 6% in 2025–26, compared with 24% statewide and 41% in the district. SchoolDigger rates Haskell at the 65th percentile, rank 602 of 1,737, with 3 stars for 2025–26; its percentile is below its 72nd-percentile high in 2023–24 but remains well above nearby schools with listed rankings. The student–teacher ratio was 15:1 in 2024–25, and 62% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking was at the 79th percentile in 2025–26, down 16 points from 2023–24 but still 14 points above Haskell’s overall percentile; its White Students ranking was at the 82nd percentile, 17 points above overall.
