Ontarioville Elementary School

Summary:

Ontarioville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 408 students in grades PK-6 in Hanover Park, Illinois, which is part of the School District U-46. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with only 31.5% and 33.3% of students meeting or exceeding standards, respectively.

Ontarioville Elementary School has significant performance gaps between different student groups, ranking much higher for Hispanic students and English Language Learners compared to female and male students in English Language Arts. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 41.9% in the 2021-2022 school year. However, the school's spending per student has increased from $10,856 in 2019-2020 to $15,246 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, Centennial School, which is only 1.6 miles away, outperformed Ontarioville Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency by a wide margin. This disparity is likely due to the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Ontarioville, with 72.79% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite these challenges, the school's strengths in supporting Hispanic and English Language Learner students suggest opportunities for improvement and growth.

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.
