Summary:

Stevenson Elementary School is a public school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 1,124 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. 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.

Stevenson Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a sharp rise in chronic absenteeism, from 5.6% in 2019-2020 to 41.2% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state, with only 27.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2023-2024, compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. The school's performance also varies widely across different student subgroups, with African American, Special Education, and Disabled students struggling the most. Despite higher per-student spending, from $12,712 in 2019-2020 to $17,633 in 2022-2023, the academic performance remains below district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Hurley Elementary School and Durkin Park Elementary School, Stevenson Elementary School generally performs worse in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. However, the school's lower student-teacher ratio of 13.7 could be leveraged to provide more personalized instruction and support for struggling students, potentially leading to improved 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.
