Goudy Technology Academy

Summary:

Goudy Technology Academy is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 554 students. It is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in Illinois.

Goudy Technology Academy faces several challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.4% in 2019-2020 to 33.3% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also generally lower than the district and state averages, with only 29.3% of students proficient or better in ELA and 23.2% in math. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and disabled students performing poorly compared to their peers. However, the school's spending per student has increased from $13,231 in 2019-2020 to $17,401 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Peirce Elementary International Studies School and Ravenswood Elementary School, Goudy Technology Academy's performance is generally lower, with higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall rankings. The school's high percentage of low-income students and English Language Learners may be contributing to its lower academic performance, and addressing these issues, as well as the high chronic absenteeism rate, could help the school improve and better serve its students.

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.
