Devonshire School

Summary:

Devonshire School is an elementary school serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade in Des Plaines, Illinois, which is part of the Community Consolidated School District 59. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from 607 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year to 1,232 out of 2,037 in the 2017-2018 school year.

Devonshire School generally outperforms the district and state averages on academic measures, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 42.9% of Devonshire students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 36.8% for the district and 41.2% for the state. The school also performs well for various student subgroups, such as female students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners. However, Devonshire has seen a concerning increase in its chronic absenteeism rate, from 2.8% in 2019-2020 to 19.6% in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, Devonshire outperforms other schools within the Community Consolidated School District 59, such as Robert Frost Elementary and John Jay Elementary. However, some schools in other districts, like Lions Park Elementary and Cumberland Elementary, outperform Devonshire School. The school's increased per-student spending, from $16,068 in 2019-2020 to $23,526 in 2022-2023, may have contributed to its academic progress, but continued efforts to address attendance and ensure equitable outcomes for all students will be crucial for Devonshire's long-term success.

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.
