YCCS-Olive Harvey Mid College High School

Summary:

YCCS-Olive Harvey Mid College High School is a public charter high school in Chicago, Illinois that serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 96 students. Unfortunately, this school is struggling, with consistently low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and extremely high chronic absenteeism that are all significantly worse than state and district averages.

The academic performance at YCCS-Olive Harvey Mid College High School is also a major concern, with only 2.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to 18.6% in the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and 26.1% statewide. When compared to nearby schools like Brooks College Prep Academy High School, which has much higher graduation rates, lower dropout rates, and stronger academic performance, it's clear that YCCS-Olive Harvey Mid College High School is an outlier in terms of poor performance.

The school's struggles are particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, low socioeconomic status students, and special education students, who are all performing well below state and district averages. Despite the relatively high spending per student at YCCS-Olive Harvey Mid College High School, the current approach does not seem to be effectively supporting student success. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the school and district leadership.

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.
