Salt Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Salt Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, serving 404 students in grades K-5 and part of the Community Consolidated School District 59.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, Salt Creek Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.2% statewide and 36.8% in the district. The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd grade ELA (19.1% proficient) and 5th grade Math (16.3% proficient). Additionally, Salt Creek Elementary has experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.5% in 2019-2020 to 22.2% in 2022-2023, which may be impacting the school's academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Clearmont Elementary School and Adolph Link Elementary School, Salt Creek Elementary significantly underperforms across most academic metrics. The school's performance is particularly low for male students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners, ranking in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools for these subgroups. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Salt Creek Elementary.

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.
