Pecatonica Elementary's students generally perform above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with some notable exceptions, such as 5th-grade students scoring below the state average in both subjects. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1, which may contribute to its academic performance. However, the school faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and a relatively high percentage of students (35.2%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement.
