Bridgeview Elementary School

Summary:

Bridgeview Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 427 students in grades K-6 in Bridgeview, Illinois, which is part of the Indian Springs School District 109. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

Bridgeview Elementary has significantly lower test scores, with only 36.9% of students proficient in ELA and 16.9% proficient in Math, compared to 44.4% and 24.6% in the district, and 41.2% and 28.4% statewide. The school also has much higher chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 30.1% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, Bridgeview Elementary has lower rankings for several student subgroups, including White students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Disabled students.

Interestingly, neighboring schools like Frank A. Brodnicki Elementary and Robina Lyle Elementary, which are also part of the Indian Springs School District 109, significantly outperform Bridgeview Elementary in both ELA and Math proficiency. This suggests that the school's academic performance has been on a downward trajectory, and the district and school should focus on addressing the key areas of concern, such as low academic achievement and high chronic absenteeism, to improve educational outcomes for its students.

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.
