Academically, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state, with only 22.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 4% to 20.8% proficient in Mathematics in recent years. While African American students have performed better than the overall school, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom 50% of Illinois elementary schools.

When comparing LEARN Charter - 7th Campus to nearby schools, some interesting findings emerge. Faraday Elementary School and LEARN Charter-Campbell Campus have generally outperformed LEARN Charter - 7th Campus in academic metrics, but they also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates. Other nearby schools, such as Locke A Elementary Charter Academy and LEARN Charter Excel Campus, have shown stronger academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at these schools suggest that they serve predominantly low-income communities, which likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the 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.
