Summary:

Hall Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Aurora, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 542 students. The school is part of the Aurora West Unified School District 129, which is ranked 693 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hall Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1521 and 1882 out of around 2,000 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below state and district averages, with only 9.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 6.5% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 25.9% and 15.4% in the district, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and White students, as well as English Language Learners and students with disabilities. Additionally, Hall Elementary School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.8% in the 2019-2020 school year to 28.4% in the 2023-2024 school year.

When compared to other elementary schools in the same district, Hall Elementary School generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, some nearby schools, such as Fearn Elementary and Goodwin Elementary, perform significantly better than Hall Elementary, with proficiency rates that are 2-3 times higher in some cases. The school's spending per student ($12,579 in 2022-2023) is slightly lower than the state average, but not significantly so, suggesting that funding may not be the primary driver of the school's academic challenges.

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.
