Henry-Senachwine Grade School

Summary:

Henry-Senachwine Grade School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Henry, Illinois, with 397 students. The school is part of the Henry-Senachwine CUSD 5 district, which is ranked 699 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, Henry-Senachwine Grade School consistently underperforms the state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.0% to 30.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. When looking at student group performance, the school ranks particularly low for White students (1 out of 5 stars) and Low Socioeconomic Status students (1-2 out of 5 stars), indicating significant achievement gaps.

Compared to nearby schools, such as South Elementary School in Chillicothe, Henry-Senachwine Grade School generally underperforms in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. This may be due in part to the school's relatively high percentage of students (over 50%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for low socioeconomic status. While the school has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio than nearby schools, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. However, one bright spot for the school is its relatively strong performance in Science, with 66.7% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 53.2%.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
