Conrad Fischer Elementary School

Summary:

Conrad Fischer Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Elmhurst, Illinois, serving 479 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Elmhurst School District 205, which is ranked 63 out of 813 districts in Illinois and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Conrad Fischer Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as its performance in Science, the school's overall academic achievement, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, which is an area of concern. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with White students and English Language Learners performing better than Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Interestingly, the school's ranking for Special Education students is relatively higher, indicating better performance in this subgroup compared to other Illinois elementary schools.

When compared to other schools within the Elmhurst School District 205, such as Emerson Elementary, Hawthorne Elementary, and Edison Elementary, Conrad Fischer Elementary School consistently underperforms in terms of test scores and chronic absenteeism. These nearby schools also have higher spending per student, which may contribute to their better performance. However, when compared to schools outside the district, such as Tioga Elementary, Roy Elementary, and W.A. Johnson School, Conrad Fischer Elementary School performs better, though these schools serve a higher percentage of students from low-income backgrounds.

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.
