Warren Elementary School

Summary:

Warren Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 243 students. 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. Warren Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 1159 and 1790 out of around 2,000 schools.

Warren Elementary School faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average test scores in both English Language Arts and Math, and a very high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance is particularly low for male students and students with low socioeconomic status, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of Illinois schools for these subgroups. Nearby schools, such as Hoyne Elementary School, Burnham Elementary Inclusive Academy, and Daisy Bates Academy of Social Justice, also have low performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism, suggesting that the challenges faced by Warren Elementary School are not unique but rather systemic issues within the district and the local community.

However, the nearby CICS - Avalon/South Shore charter school, which serves a similar student population, has significantly higher test scores and a higher school ranking compared to Warren Elementary School. This suggests that the charter school model may be more effective in this community, though further analysis would be needed to understand the specific factors contributing to its success. Addressing the underlying factors that contribute to the challenges faced by Warren Elementary School, such as improving attendance and supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds, will be crucial in improving the school's performance and providing a high-quality education for its students.

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.
