Heyworth Elementary School

Summary:

Heyworth Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Heyworth, Illinois, part of the Heyworth CUSD 4 school district. With 490 students, the school has consistently been ranked in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heyworth Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 49.6%, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 37.4%, compared to the state average of 28.4%. The school also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, with its female students and special education students ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools in their respective categories. Additionally, Heyworth Elementary School has maintained relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 3.5% to 7.8% over the past 5 years, which is lower than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as the Bloomington School District 87 schools (Oakland, Irving, and Washington Elementary), Heyworth Elementary School stands out as a higher-performing school, outperforming them in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency by a significant margin. This may be due in part to the school's lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (24.08% in 2022-2023) compared to many of the nearby schools, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can be a significant factor in student achievement. Additionally, Heyworth Elementary School's spending per student ($12,685 in 2022-2023) is higher than the state average, which may help support the school's academic programs and resources.

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.
