Kellman Corporate Community Elementary

Summary:

Kellman Corporate Community Elementary is a public elementary school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 202 students in grades PK-8. It 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.

Kellman Corporate Community Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average academic performance in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, and struggles to support its student subgroups. For example, in 2023-2024, only 10.3% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. When compared to nearby schools, such as LEARN Charter-Campbell Campus, Kellman consistently underperforms in academic metrics. The high chronic absenteeism rates appear to be directly correlated with the school's low academic performance, suggesting that addressing attendance issues could be a key lever for improvement.

Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio at Kellman Corporate Community Elementary, the school is still struggling to improve student achievement. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to explore alternative strategies for supporting student learning. Addressing the equity gaps for the school's student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and low socioeconomic status students, should also be a priority for the school and district.

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.
