Beaubien Elementary School

Summary:

Beaubien Elementary School is a public school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 966 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. As part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, Beaubien stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly outpacing the district and state averages in academic proficiency.

Beaubien's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with 60.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 41.1% proficient or better in Mathematics, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school's diverse student population, including strong performance among female, Hispanic, and white students, further highlights its effectiveness in serving the community. However, Beaubien has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.1% to 25.4% in recent years, an area the school may need to address.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Belding Elementary School, Gray Elementary School, and Smyser Elementary School, Beaubien's academic performance stands out, with significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This success may be attributed to the school's relatively lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a more economically diverse student population. However, Beaubien's student-teacher ratio of 16.1 is higher than some of its nearby peers, an area the school may want to explore to further enhance its educational outcomes.

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.
