Summary:

Lovett Elementary School is a public school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 307 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. Lovett Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 1455 out of 2067 schools.

Lovett Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.6% to 33.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Lovett students perform well below state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 26% proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 9.6% proficient in Mathematics. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as 3rd-grade students, where only 13.9% were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 21.3% for the district and 30.6% for the state. Despite spending significantly more per student ($18,175 in 2022-2023) than the district average, Lovett Elementary's academic outcomes have not improved.

Interestingly, Lovett Elementary's performance is consistently lower than the nearby CICS - West Belden Campus charter school, as well as the traditional public schools in the area, such as Sayre Elementary Language Academy and Young Elementary School. Lovett Elementary's struggles appear to be systemic, with no clear signs of improvement over the past decade, despite its high-poverty student population, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
