Center Street Elementary School has shown mixed performance on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in ELA (44.1%) and Math (26.7%) slightly above the state averages but below the district averages. However, the school's performance in Science (73.5% proficient) was significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with some grades and subjects performing better than others. While female students have consistently outperformed male students in ELA, White students and students with disabilities have performed below the state average in ELA and Math. Interestingly, the school has performed well for low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois middle schools in this category.

The closest nearby school, Cisne Middle School, which is part of the North Wayne CUSD 200 district, has outperformed Center Street Elementary School in ELA and Math proficiency rates. However, Center Street Elementary School has a higher percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, which may contribute to the performance gap. Additionally, Center Street Elementary School's performance has been inconsistent over the years, with the school's ranking among Illinois middle schools ranging from 495 to 1059, suggesting challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement. On a positive note, the school's strong performance in Science proficiency could be an area of strength to build upon.

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.
