Balmoral Elementary School

Summary:

Balmoral Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Crete, Illinois, serving 440 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Crete Monee CUSD 201U district, which is ranked 701 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Balmoral Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 1536 out of 2067 schools. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower academic performance compared to state and district averages, and varying performance across different student subgroups. While the school's per-student spending is relatively high, it still struggles to match the academic success of other schools in the district, such as Monee Elementary School and Crete Elementary School.

However, the presence of higher-performing schools in the district, such as the Coretta Scott King Magnet School, suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement at Balmoral Elementary School through targeted interventions and the implementation of best practices from the district's more successful schools. Additionally, the school's relatively high per-student spending indicates that there is potential for progress with the right strategies and support.

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.
