Jungman Elementary School

Summary:

Jungman Elementary School is a public school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 284 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. 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.

Jungman Elementary School faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 26.7% to 54.4% in recent years, which are much higher than nearby schools like Pilsen Elementary Community Academy (29.5%) and Cooper Elementary Dual Language Academy (41.5%). The school's test scores are also generally lower than state and district averages, with only 31% of students proficient or better in ELA and 17.9% in math, compared to 30.5% and 18.3% for the district, respectively.

While Jungman Elementary School has a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $23,523 to $28,725 in recent years, and a low student-teacher ratio of 7.5 to 9.6, these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with higher rankings for Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to female and male students. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted interventions to improve attendance and academic performance may be crucial for the school's improvement, especially when compared to higher-performing nearby schools like Galileo Elementary Math & Sci Schol Acd and STEM Magnet Academy Elementary.

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.
