Washington Elementary School

Summary:

Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 403 students in grades K-5 in Glenview, Illinois, which is part of the East Maine School District 63. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, its overall performance has been a concern, with student proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math falling below district and state averages.

One key issue is the significant disparities in performance among different student subgroups. While Hispanic students at Washington Elementary perform relatively well, ranking in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools, Asian and White students, as well as students with special needs, struggle, ranking in the bottom 20%, bottom 50%, and bottom 15% respectively. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which reached 24% in 2023-2024, is also a contributing factor to its overall academic performance. Despite spending more per student ($18,450 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, the school's performance does not reflect this higher investment.

The declining performance of Washington Elementary School over the years, from the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools in 2016-2017 to the bottom 50% in 2020-2021, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation. Addressing the equity and inclusion issues, as well as the root causes of high chronic absenteeism, may be key priorities for the school and the district to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
