Golfview Elementary School

Summary:

Golfview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Carpentersville, Illinois, serving 404 students in grades K-5. The school is part of Community Unit School District 300, which is ranked 411 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Golfview Elementary faces significant challenges, including low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and a high-need student population. The school's performance lags behind both the district and state averages, as well as many of its nearby peers, such as Sleepy Hollow Elementary and Algonquin Lakes Elementary, which have much higher academic proficiency rates and serve a less economically disadvantaged student population. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Golfview Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

One notable outlier is Elgin Math and Science Academy Charter, a public charter school located a few miles from Golfview. This school outperforms Golfview on academic measures despite serving a similar socioeconomic population, suggesting that factors beyond just staffing levels and funding may be contributing to Golfview's underperformance. Addressing the challenges at Golfview Elementary will likely require a multi-faceted approach targeting both academic and non-academic factors.

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.
