Great Lakes Academy Charter Elementary School

Summary:

Great Lakes Academy Charter Elementary School is a public charter elementary school located in Chicago, Illinois, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 524 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.

Great Lakes Academy Charter Elementary School outperforms the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and the state of Illinois in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels, with 41% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In Mathematics, the school also outperforms the district but lags behind the state average, with 20.6% of students proficient or better. The school's performance in Science is particularly strong, with 56.9% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district's 36.8% and the state's 53.2%. However, the school's performance for Special Education students is concerning, ranking in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools, and the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.6% to 34.1% in recent years.

Great Lakes Academy Charter Elementary School generally outperforms the nearby traditional public schools, such as Hoyne Elementary School and Bradwell Community Arts & Sci Elementary School, in academic achievement, particularly in ELA and Science. However, the nearby LEARN Charter - South Chicago Campus, another charter school, has shown stronger academic performance than Great Lakes Academy in recent years, especially in ELA. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio may contribute to its stronger academic performance, but the school still faces challenges in addressing equity and inclusion for certain student subgroups.

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.
