Summary

Sieden Prairie Elementary School in Matteson, Illinois, serves 279 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in the south suburbs of Chicago. Its results show a clear split between improving English language arts (ELA) and much weaker math performance. The most important concern is math: in 2025–2026, 14% of students were proficient, compared with 40% statewide and 16% in the district.

ELA is the school’s strongest academic area relative to its math results and nearby schools. In 2025–2026, 42% were proficient in all-grades ELA, above the district’s 35% but below the state’s 56%. Among same-district schools, Woodgate Elementary School was slightly higher at 43%, while Marya Yates Elementary School was lower at 29%. Results vary by grade: third-grade ELA was 31%, the lowest among nearby schools reporting that grade, while fifth-grade ELA was 51%, just 4 points below the state. Math remains low compared with nearby schools too; among nearby schools with comparable all-grades results, only Marya Yates was lower.

ELA proficiency rose from 22% in 2023–2024 to 26% the next year and 42% in 2025–2026, a 20-point gain. The overall picture is still challenging: SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 23rd percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026, up from the 14th percentile the year before but down from the 58th percentile in 2015–2016. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling 15 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, though the latest rate remained close to state and district levels. As context, 82% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.1. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for African American students was at the 57th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 14th percentile that year; the group ranking had fallen from the 78th percentile in 2022–2023. For Low Socio Economic Status Students, the ranking rose to the 46th percentile in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 23rd percentile.
