Sadlowski Elementary School

Summary:

Sadlowski Elementary School is a public school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 625 students in grades PK-8. 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. Sadlowski Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1508 and 1929 over the past several years, and a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sadlowski Elementary School faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, and poor performance of student subgroups compared to their peers across the district and state. For example, in 2023-2024, only 10.5% of students were proficient or better in ELA, and only 5.7% were proficient or better in math, compared to district and state averages of 30.5% and 41.2% for ELA, and 18.3% and 28.4% for math, respectively. The school's Hispanic students ranked 891 out of 959 Illinois elementary schools, and its English Language Learners ranked 792 out of 826.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $11,974 in 2019-2020 to $20,321 in 2022-2023, Sadlowski Elementary School has not shown any meaningful improvement in its performance over the past several years. When compared to nearby schools, such as Addams Elementary School, which is just 0.51 miles away, Sadlowski Elementary School is significantly underperforming, with lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and a lower SchoolDigger rating. The school's challenges may be exacerbated by the high-poverty community it serves, with over 80% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
