Haley Elementary Academy

Summary:

Haley Elementary Academy is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 440 students. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Haley Elementary Academy has consistently been ranked in the bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Haley Elementary Academy faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subjects, and significant performance gaps between student groups. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 23.7% of Haley students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In math, only 8.8% of Haley students were proficient or better, compared to 18.3% for the district and 28.4% for the state. The nearby schools, such as Curtis Elementary School, Dunne Technology Academy Elementary School, and Lavizzo Elementary School, also struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that the challenges faced by Haley Elementary Academy are not unique and may be systemic issues within the district or the broader community.

Despite the increased spending per student and the relatively low student-teacher ratio at Haley Elementary Academy, the school has not shown any significant improvement in its performance over the past 10 years. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and interventions to better support student learning and engagement. Addressing the challenges faced by Haley Elementary Academy will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that addresses the root causes of the school's performance 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.
