Summary

Saratoga Elementary School enrolls 786 students in pre-K through grade 8 in Morris, Illinois, and has the largest reported enrollment among nearby schools. In 2025–26, its overall proficiency was above the Illinois average in both tested subjects, but performance varied by grade: grade 3 results were above state levels, while grade 4 fell below them. Grade 4 is the school’s clearest academic concern, especially in math, where its 39% proficiency was the lowest among nearby schools reporting results for that grade.

ELA is a relative strength, while local math results are less competitive. Overall, 63% of Saratoga students were proficient in ELA and 45% in math, compared with 56% and 40% statewide; the school’s advantages were 7 and 5 percentage points, respectively. Reported results for Saratoga CCSD 60C exactly match the school’s. Among nine nearby schools with comparable all-grades results, Saratoga ranked sixth of 10 in ELA and ninth of 10 in math; its math proficiency was 9 points below the peer average. Grade 8 ELA stands out positively at 86%, 23 points above the state, and higher than results at Lisbon Grade School and Milton Pope Elementary School. Nearby schools serve different grade ranges, so all-grades comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.

Results have improved overall since 2023–24, but Saratoga’s gains have lagged the state’s: ELA proficiency rose 11 points and math 3 points, while the state rose 15 points in each subject. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking fell from the 70th percentile in 2024–25 to the 52nd in 2025–26, earning 3 stars. Its effectiveness percentile for White students was 27, compared with 52 overall; its Female Students percentile also dropped sharply, from 71 to 35. Other context: the 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 11.9, and 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism was 14% in 2025–26, below the state’s 24%.
