Summary

Troy Craughwell School is a 526-student K–4 elementary school in Joliet, in Troy CCSD 30C. Its latest results show a clear split by subject: math proficiency is above state and district levels, while ELA proficiency is below both. The most important finding is that math is Craughwell’s comparative strength, but ELA is its main academic weakness.

In 2025–2026, 48% of students were proficient in math, compared with 40% statewide and 43% districtwide—advantages of 9 and 6 percentage points. ELA proficiency was 46%, versus 56% statewide and 59% districtwide, putting Craughwell 11 points below the state and 14 below the district. Among four nearby Troy schools serving the same tested grades, Craughwell had the lowest ELA result and the third-highest math result. Its ELA was 14 points below the group’s average, while its math was 1 point below the average.

Results have moved in different directions over time: ELA fell 3 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while math gained 16 points overall, despite dropping 5 points from its 2024–2025 peak. SchoolDigger ranks the school 1,041st of 1,737 statewide, at the 40th percentile with 2 stars; its percentile fell 32 points from 2023–2024. In 2024–2025, 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the highest share among nearby Troy schools. Its student–teacher ratio was 13.7, higher than eight of ten nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking placed African American students at the 98th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with 59th for the school overall; no figure is supplied for that group in 2025–2026. For White students, the ranking dropped from the 73rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 21st in 2025–2026, indicating a sharp decline for that group by this measure.
