Ruiz Elementary School

Summary:

Ruiz Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 435 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.

Ruiz Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 1224 and 1654 out of over 2,000 schools. The school struggles with high chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 7.6% in 2019-2020 to 53.7% in 2023-2024, much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Ruiz Elementary School consistently underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.8% of Ruiz students were proficient in ELA compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state, and only 8.6% of Ruiz students were proficient in Math compared to 18.3% for the district and 28.4% for the state.

When comparing Ruiz Elementary School to nearby schools in the same district, such as Orozco Elementary Fine Arts & Sciences and Pickard Elementary School, it becomes clear that Ruiz is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. Despite increased spending per student, from $13,292 in 2019-2020 to $20,763 in 2022-2023, Ruiz Elementary School has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance over the past decade, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's instructional practices and overall improvement strategies.

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.
