The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing relatively well, but African American students, white students, and students with disabilities performing below average compared to their peers statewide. The school has also seen a fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 7.5% in 2019-2020 to 19.2% in 2021-2022, with the 2023-2024 rate of 8.7% still higher than the 2019-2020 level.

Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates are notably higher than the state average, with 72.2% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 53.2%. Despite these strengths, the school's enrollment has declined from 679 students in 2023-2024 to 483 students in the nearby North Side Primary Center, which serves grades PK-1 and is part of the same district, suggesting potential challenges in maintaining enrollment and resources in the coming years.

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.
