Reilly Elementary School

Summary:

Reilly Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 563 students in grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois. Unfortunately, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Reilly Elementary School significantly underperforms compared to the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and the state of Illinois in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.1% of Reilly students were proficient in ELA compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In Math, only 9.4% of Reilly students were proficient compared to 18.3% for the district and 28.4% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.3% to 29.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Reilly Elementary School ranks in the bottom 30-40% of Illinois elementary schools for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities.

In comparison, the nearby Murphy Elementary School, Scammon Elementary School, and CICS - Irving Park Campus generally outperform Reilly Elementary School in academic proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and student group performance. While Reilly's challenges may be partly due to the high-need student population it serves, with 78.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's inconsistent performance over the years suggests a need for a comprehensive approach to address the school's educational practices and improve student 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.
