Erie Elementary Charter School

Summary:

Erie Elementary Charter School is a public charter school located in Chicago, Illinois, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 374 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.

Erie Elementary Charter School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 37% to 44.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics, is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 11.9% of all students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. Erie Elementary Charter School's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status, ranking in the bottom quartile of Illinois elementary schools.

When comparing Erie Elementary Charter School to nearby public schools in the same district, such as Sabin Elementary Magnet School, Yates Elementary School, Chopin Elementary School, Chase Elementary School, Columbus Elementary School, Lowell Elementary School, Moos Elementary School, and De Diego Elementary Community Academy, Erie Elementary Charter School generally performs worse academically and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. The significant fluctuations in spending per student at Erie Elementary Charter School make it difficult to draw conclusions about the relationship between funding and student outcomes, and the school's performance has remained consistently low over the past several years, with little to no improvement in its statewide ranking or academic proficiency rates.

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.
