The school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, much higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the ILEARN assessments are alarmingly low, with only 9.26% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 8.02% in Math, compared to state averages of 40.3% and 51.5% respectively for 3rd grade.
