Summary:

Rupley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, serving 260 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Community Consolidated School District 59, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rupley Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.2% of Rupley students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 36.8% for the district and 41.2% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for English Language Learner students, with a ranking of 436 out of 826 Illinois elementary schools. Rupley also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 33.5%, compared to the state average of 16.3%.

While Rupley Elementary School's performance is lower than nearby Devonshire School and Clearmont Elementary School, it is still better than some other nearby schools, such as John Jay Elementary School. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 79.23% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Despite increased per-student spending over the years, Rupley Elementary School's performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving academic 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.
