Summary

Jane Addams Elementary School is a public elementary school in Springfield, Illinois, serving 262 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Springfield School District 186, which is ranked 714 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jane Addams Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools, with low performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 37.7% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 53.1% statewide, and only 23% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 38.5% statewide. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, and it struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, particularly African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, the school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 41.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

While the nearby schools within the same district, such as Feitshans Elementary, Fairview Elementary, and Black Hawk Elementary, also struggle academically, some nearby schools, like Owen Marsh Elementary and Butler Elementary, perform significantly better, ranking in the top 50% of Illinois elementary schools and outperforming Jane Addams Elementary School across various academic measures. Addressing the challenges at Jane Addams Elementary School will require a comprehensive review of the school's educational programs, support systems, and resource allocation, as well as collaboration with the district and community to identify and implement effective strategies for improvement.
