The school faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 70.34% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 59.0%, which is likely contributing to the low academic performance. Despite the district spending more per student than the state average and having a slightly higher student-teacher ratio, the school's resources do not appear to be effectively utilized to address the needs of its students.

Overall, the data suggests that Gen George Patton School District 133 and its lone school, Gen George Patton Elementary School, are facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to their students. The district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the low academic performance, high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, and ensure that the available resources are being used effectively to support student success.
