Summary:

Fox Meadow Elementary School is a public elementary school located in South Elgin, Illinois, serving 582 students in grades K-6 and part of the School District U-46, which is ranked 578 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overall, Fox Meadow Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong performer within its district, with higher test scores in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 36.9% of all grades at Fox Meadow were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 30.7% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In Mathematics, 29% of all grades at Fox Meadow were proficient or better, compared to 21.7% for the district and 28.4% for the state. Additionally, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, is relatively strong compared to the state.

However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rate, rising from 4.8% in 2020-2021 to 16.0% in 2023-2024, is an area of concern. Additionally, the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 19.4 in 2022-2023 is also higher than the nearby schools, which range from 12.4 to 20.8 students per teacher. These factors suggest that the school may need to evaluate its resource allocation and staffing strategies to ensure optimal 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.
