Thomasboro Grade School's performance has been declining over the past 3 years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1442 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1573 out of 2077 in 2022-2023 and 1650 out of 2082 in 2021-2022. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 2 stars to 1 star during this period. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.2% and generally low academic proficiency rates, with students performing well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels tested.

Despite the school's challenges, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6, which could be a potential strength. However, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The high percentage of students (65.67%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch indicates that Thomasboro Grade School serves a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles.
