Flanagan Elementary School

Summary:

Flanagan Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Flanagan, Illinois, with 185 students. The school is part of the Flanagan-Cornell District 74, which is ranked 684 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Flanagan Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 30% compared to the state average of 41.2%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was significantly lower at 0-20% across different grade levels, compared to the state average of 24.8-33.8%. The school has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 1.4% in 2019-2020 to 9.5% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with male students and white students consistently underperforming compared to their female and non-white counterparts, respectively, in both ELA and Mathematics.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Centennial School and Cornell Elementary School, Flanagan Elementary School generally underperforms in academic proficiency, with lower ELA and Mathematics scores. However, it has a lower chronic absenteeism rate than some of the nearby schools, such as Washington Elementary School and Central Elementary School. The increase in spending per student at Flanagan Elementary School, coupled with the school's underperformance, raises questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation and the need for a closer examination of how funds are being utilized to support student learning.

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.
