Davis N Elementary School

Summary:

Davis N Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 522 students in grades PK-8 in the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from Chicago Public Schools District 299.

Davis N Elementary has extremely low academic performance, with only 7.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. Math performance is even worse, with 0% proficiency in several grade levels. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, reaching 41.6% in the 2021-2022 school year, nearly double the district average. Additionally, 94.44% of Davis N students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the high-poverty community the school serves. Despite these challenges, the school only spends $19,991 per student, which is lower than the surrounding schools and the district average.

The data reveals a stark contrast between Davis N Elementary and the nearby Burroughs Elementary, which is just 0.6 miles away and has significantly higher academic performance, with 45.9% proficiency in ELA and 19.4% in Math. This highlights the extreme disparities in educational outcomes within the same district. Davis N's persistent underperformance over the past decade suggests deep-rooted challenges that the school has been unable to address effectively, disproportionately impacting its predominantly Hispanic and English Language Learner student population.

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.

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.
