Harrison Street Elementary School

Summary:

Harrison Street Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Geneva, Illinois, serving 393 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Geneva CUSD 304 district, which is ranked 136 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the district and nearby schools like Heartland Elementary School and Western Avenue Elementary School perform well academically, Harrison Street Elementary School has consistently lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 32.8% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 31.7% were proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly below the district and state levels.

Additionally, Harrison Street Elementary School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 2.8% in 2019-2020 to 13.9% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district average. The school's demographics, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and low-income students, may be contributing factors to the lower academic outcomes. To address these challenges, the school could benefit from targeted interventions, improved attendance strategies, and collaboration with higher-performing schools within the Geneva CUSD 304 district.

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.
