Shoop Math-Sci Technical Elementary Academy

Summary:

Shoop Math-Sci Technical Elementary Academy is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 388 students enrolled. 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.

Shoop Math-Sci Technical Elementary Academy has consistently struggled with low academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science significantly below the district and state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.1% to 36.4% in recent years, are also much higher than the district and state. While Higgins Elementary Community Academy and Colemon J Elementary Academy, two nearby schools in the same district, also struggle with low performance, they show slightly better results than Shoop in certain areas.

Shoop's student group performance is also uneven, with the school ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Illinois elementary schools for female, male, and special education students, and in the bottom 30-40% for low-income students. However, the school's African American students perform better than the overall school, ranking in the top 50% of Illinois elementary schools. Despite relatively high per-student spending, Shoop has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes, suggesting potential challenges in how the resources are allocated and utilized.

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.
