Elk Grove High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from as high as 122 out of 670 Illinois high schools in 2013-2014 to as low as 380 out of 614 in 2014-2015. In the most recent year, the school ranked 232 out of 697 Illinois high schools, with a 3-star rating. The school has performed particularly well with its African American student population, ranking 15th out of 294 Illinois high schools in 2021-2022 and 43rd out of 301 in 2022-2023. However, the school has struggled with its Asian and Hispanic student populations, ranking in the bottom half of Illinois high schools in these categories. Elk Grove High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.1% to 93.8% over the past five years, but its dropout rate has fluctuated, from a low of 0.6% in 2020-2021 to a high of 2.1% in 2021-2022.

When comparing Elk Grove High School to nearby schools, such as Maine West High School, J.B. Conant High School, and Rolling Meadows High School, Elk Grove High School generally performs worse in terms of statewide ranking, academic performance, and other key metrics. This may be due in part to the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 44.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2021-2022. However, Elk Grove High School has shown a strong performance in supporting its homeless student population, ranking 4th out of 104 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 and 15th out of 98 in 2021-2022.

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.
