Eberhart Elementary School

Summary:

Eberhart Elementary School is a public school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 1,037 students in grades PK-8. 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.

Eberhart Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.9% in 2020-2021 to 49.3% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics, is also consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 13.6% of Eberhart students were proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts, compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. Additionally, the school's performance on various student group metrics, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learner students, Special Education students, and Low Socio-Economic Status students, is concerning, as it ranks in the bottom quartile of Illinois elementary schools for these groups.

When comparing Eberhart Elementary School to nearby schools in the same district, such as Marquette Elementary, Tarkington Elementary, and Hurley Elementary, it becomes evident that Eberhart is underperforming. These nearby schools have higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better student group outcomes. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the school's low-income student population (93.54% free/reduced lunch recipients) may be contributing factors to Eberhart's academic struggles, and addressing these underlying issues could be crucial in improving student 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.
