Plamondon Elementary School

Summary:

Plamondon Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 103 students. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and a high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students.

Plamondon Elementary School's performance is generally lower than nearby schools in the same district, such as Hammond Elementary, Johnson Elementary, and Pickard Elementary, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall performance metrics. The school's Hispanic students and low-socioeconomic status students have performed better than the overall school in some years, suggesting that targeted interventions and support for these subgroups may be effective.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Plamondon Elementary School, the school's academic performance remains low, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 849 out of 2,052 Illinois elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 1,548 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic outcomes.

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.
