Lake in the Hills Elementary School

Summary:

Lake in the Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 495 students in grades K-5 in the Community Unit School District 300 (CUSD 300) in Lake in the Hills, Illinois. Over the past 10 years, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 475 out of 2,052 Illinois elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 1,309 out of 2,067 in the current 2023-2024 school year.

Lake in the Hills Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the CUSD 300 district and the state of Illinois in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In 2023-2024, only 23.4% of all students at Lake in the Hills were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 37.6% for CUSD 300 and 41.2% for Illinois. In Mathematics, only 18% of all students at Lake in the Hills were proficient or better, compared to 28.5% for CUSD 300 and 28.4% for Illinois. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 3.7% in 2019-2020 to 16.1% in the current 2023-2024 school year, which may be contributing to the school's academic underperformance.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the same CUSD 300 district, such as Westfield Community School, Lincoln Prairie Elementary School, and Kenneth E Neubert Elementary School, significantly outperform Lake in the Hills Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, and also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and lower percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This suggests that targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students at Lake in the Hills Elementary School.

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.
