Dunne Technology Academy Elementary School

Summary:

Dunne Technology Academy Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with an enrollment of 206 students. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools in academic performance and struggling with high chronic absenteeism rates.

Dunne Technology Academy's academic performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages across all grades and subjects. In 2023-2024, only 33.9% of Dunne students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 30.5% for the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and 41.2% for the state. In math, only 10.7% of Dunne students were proficient, compared to 18.3% for the district and 28.4% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in 4th and 5th grade math, where proficiency rates are just 4% and 0%, respectively. Dunne Technology Academy also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.3% in 2020-2021 to 32.9% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average.

While Dunne Technology Academy's performance is a concern, the school does show some strengths in the performance of its African American student subgroup, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools for this group in 2022-2023. However, the school's low-income student subgroup continues to perform poorly, ranking in the bottom half of Illinois schools for this group. Nearby schools, such as Mount Vernon Elementary, Lavizzo Elementary, and Haley Elementary Academy, also struggle with high poverty and low academic achievement, but tend to outperform Dunne Technology Academy on state assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
