Hurley Elementary School

Summary:

Hurley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 716 students. The school faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and uneven performance across student groups.

Hurley Elementary School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.7% in 2019-2020 to 36.4% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the Chicago Public Schools District 299 average of 30.5% and the state average of 41.2%. The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, with only 32.1% of Hurley students proficient or better in ELA and 15.4% proficient or better in math, compared to 30.5% and 18.3% for the district, respectively. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different grade levels, with 8th-grade students performing much better than lower grades in both ELA and math.

Hurley Elementary School's performance for English Language Learners and Special Education students is relatively low compared to other student groups, indicating that the school may need to focus more on supporting these populations. Additionally, the school's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Stevenson Elementary School and Azuela Elementary School, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the increase in spending per student, from $10,741 in 2019-2020 to $15,430 in 2022-2023, Hurley Elementary School continues to face significant challenges, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to address the school's underlying issues.

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.
