While Earlville Junior/Senior High School has relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 87.5% to 96.0% in recent years, and low dropout rates, it faces significant challenges. The school has consistently lower test scores in SAT Mathematics, SAT English Language Arts, and ISA Science compared to state averages and nearby schools like Newark Community High School, Ottawa Township High School, Sandwich Community High School, and Somonauk High School. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 39.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

The school's performance, as measured by its SchoolDigger star rating, has been inconsistent, ranging from 1 to 4 stars over the years. This suggests that the school's quality and effectiveness have been variable. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 32.23% to 44.33% in recent years, indicates that Earlville Junior/Senior High School may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to the school's academic performance issues. Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $15,683 to $23,005 in recent years, the school appears to be facing challenges in effectively utilizing its resources and staffing to improve student outcomes.

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.
