Crown Elementary Community Acd Fine Arts Center

Summary:

Crown Elementary Community Acd Fine Arts Center is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 120 students enrolled. 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.

Crown Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.5% to 42.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the IAR exams, is also consistently well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 0% of Crown Elementary's 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to 26.1% and 16% respectively for the district. This poor performance is not limited to Crown Elementary, as many of the nearby schools, such as Penn Elementary School and KIPP Chicago Chrtrs - Ascend Academy, also struggle academically.

The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (over 96%) at Crown Elementary and the nearby schools indicate that these schools serve predominantly low-income communities, which likely contributes to the challenges they face in terms of academic achievement and chronic absenteeism. While the data paints a concerning picture, there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve student success at Crown Elementary and the surrounding schools.

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.
