Mozart Elementary School

Summary:

Mozart Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 485 students. Unfortunately, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom 15% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in the state.

The key issues at Mozart Elementary School are concerning. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.0% in 2019-2020 to 47.2% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 21.6% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In Mathematics, only 9.5% of students were proficient or better, compared to 18.3% for the district and 28.4% for the state. The school's performance on subgroup metrics is also concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 30% of Illinois elementary schools for female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learner students, Special Education students, and low socioeconomic status students.

When comparing Mozart Elementary School to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes clear that Mozart is one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. For example, Monroe Elementary School, which is just 0.58 miles away, outperforms Mozart Elementary School on most metrics, including test scores and chronic absenteeism. Despite consistent funding and resources, Mozart Elementary School has not shown any significant improvement in its performance over the past 10 years, and the school's ranking among Illinois elementary schools has remained in the bottom 15%.

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.
