Saratoga Elementary consistently ranks in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools, with particularly impressive results in English Language Arts (ELA). In 2024-2025, 66.9% of Saratoga students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%.

In mathematics, Saratoga students also outperform the state, with 48.9% proficiency compared to the state's 38.5%. The school's Hispanic, special education, and low socioeconomic status (SES) students perform particularly well, ranking in the top 20-35% of Illinois schools for these subgroups.

While Saratoga Elementary's overall performance is strong, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.4% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's White students and male students have lower rankings compared to the overall school performance, suggesting potential areas for improvement. Compared to nearby schools, Saratoga's performance is generally stronger, but Lisbon Grade School, a small school in the neighboring district, stands out with exceptional academic performance, ranking in the top 4% of Illinois elementary schools and outperforming Saratoga in both ELA and mathematics.
