Shiloh Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1208 and 1864 out of over 2,000 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state averages across all grades and subjects, with only 20.1% of students proficient or better in ELA and 9.7% proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, Shiloh Elementary has experienced a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.8% in 2019-2020 to 21.2% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average.

In comparison, the nearby Pine Crest Elementary, Heritage JH and Elementary, and Crestwood Elementary schools generally perform better than Shiloh Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. These schools also tend to have lower chronic absenteeism rates and serve a lower percentage of students from low-income backgrounds. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Shiloh Elementary (52.6% in 2022-2023) may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.

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.
