LEARN Charter - Butler

Summary:

LEARN Charter - Butler is a public charter elementary school serving 515 students in grades K-8 in Chicago, Illinois, which is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299.

While LEARN Charter - Butler consistently underperforms the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, it performs relatively well for its African American student population, ranking in the top 15% of Illinois elementary schools. However, the school struggles with its low socioeconomic status (SES) student population, ranking in the bottom third of Illinois elementary schools. Additionally, LEARN Charter - Butler has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.1% to 21.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite spending significantly more per student ($15,184 in 2022-2023) compared to the district average, the higher spending does not seem to translate into improved student outcomes.

The challenges faced by LEARN Charter - Butler are not unique, as nearby schools such as Johnson Elementary School, Herzl Elementary School, and Dvorak Technology Academy Elementary School also perform poorly compared to state averages, with similarly low proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics, as well as high chronic absenteeism rates and predominantly low-income student populations. This suggests that the issues within LEARN Charter - Butler are likely systemic challenges within the Chicago Public Schools District 299.

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.
