Peck Elementary School

Summary:

Peck Elementary School is a public elementary school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 798 students in grades PK-4. 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.

Peck Elementary School faces several challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.2% in 2019-2020 to 30.9% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics, is consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 27.2% of Peck students were proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts, compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. Additionally, Peck Elementary School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 93.23% in 2022-2023, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Peck Elementary School to nearby schools within the same district, several interesting findings emerge. Sandoval Elementary School and Monarcas Academy have similar performance levels to Peck, with slightly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. On the other hand, Pasteur Elementary School and Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz significantly outperform Peck in both academic achievement and attendance. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address Peck Elementary School's performance issues and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.

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.
