Maple Elementary School

Summary:

Maple Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Loves Park, Illinois, serving grades 1-6 with a student population of 410. The school is part of the Harlem UD 122 school district, which is ranked 627 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maple Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Harlem UD 122 district and the state of Illinois in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.1% of Maple students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 27.9% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 13.8% at Maple, compared to 20.3% for the district and 28.4% for the state. Maple Elementary has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 34.0% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as White students and Special Education students, who ranked in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools in ELA proficiency.

While Maple Elementary is part of the Harlem UD 122 district, there are notable differences in performance between Maple and other schools in the district. For example, Olson Park Elementary, which is just 1.6 miles away, significantly outperforms Maple in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, Maple Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 74.88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.

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.
