Summary:
The data set provided contains information about a single elementary school, J L Hensey Elementary School, located in District 50 Schools. With only one school in the data set, there are no clear standout schools to highlight, but we can analyze the performance of J L Hensey Elementary School in comparison to district and state-level averages.
J L Hensey Elementary School serves 265 students in grades PK-3 and has a predominantly white student population (88.3%). However, the school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1% and academic underperformance, with only 15.2% of 3rd-grade students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts and 21.2% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 28.8% and 33%, respectively. Additionally, over 60% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $16,462, the school's academic performance remains below state standards, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning outcomes. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of the school's challenges and supports student success.
