Rogers Elementary outperforms the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and the state of Illinois in proficiency rates for both English Language Arts and Mathematics across most grade levels. In 2023-2024, 50.8% of Rogers students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In Mathematics, 33.9% of Rogers students were proficient or better, compared to 18.3% for the district and 28.4% for the state.

Despite serving a relatively high-need population, with 65.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, Rogers Elementary has been able to maintain strong academic performance. However, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.7% in 2019-2020 to 26.2% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average. This suggests that while Rogers Elementary is a strong-performing school, there may be opportunities for further improvement and targeted interventions to address the rising chronic absenteeism rates. Nearby Decatur Classical Elementary, ranked 7th out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024, serves as a standout high-performing comparison for Rogers Elementary.

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.
