Monee Elementary School

Summary:

Monee Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Crete Monee CUSD 201U district, with 397 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 1313 out of 2067 schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Monee Elementary faces significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, from 14.2% in 2020-2021 to 31.0% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the district average of 27.2% and the state average of 41.2%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the IAR exams are consistently below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25.2% of Monee students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 27.2% for the district and 41.2% for the state. The school's subgroup performance varies, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than their White and Special Education peers.

Compared to other schools in the Crete Monee CUSD 201U district, such as Balmoral Elementary, Crete Elementary, and Coretta Scott King Magnet School, Monee Elementary's performance is generally lower. The school's struggles are compounded by the high levels of economic disadvantage among its student population, with 99.24% of students eligible 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.
