Astoria Elementary School

Summary:

Astoria Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 130 students in grades PK-5 in Astoria, Illinois, which is part of the Astoria CUSD 1 district. While the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.1% in 2019-2020 to 28.6% in 2023-2024, its academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics is generally below the state and district averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Astoria Elementary School generally performs better than Gard Elementary School and Central Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates, but lags behind New Central Elementary School and A-C Central Elementary School. Additionally, the school's performance has fluctuated significantly over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 609 to 1425 and its star rating ranging from 2 to 4 out of 5.

While Astoria Elementary School's spending per student is generally higher than the nearby schools, this does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes. The school and Astoria CUSD 1 district should focus on addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and inconsistent performance, to improve student learning and achievement.

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.
