Goodings Grove School

Summary:

Goodings Grove School is an elementary school located in Homer Glen, Illinois, serving grades 1-4 with a total enrollment of 414 students. The school is part of the Homer CCSD 33C district, which is ranked 177 out of 823 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Goodings Grove School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.33%) compared to the surrounding schools, its performance on standardized tests is lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd grade. For example, in 2022-2023, only 32.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38% for the district and 28.8% for the state. Additionally, Goodings Grove School has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.5% in 2019-2020 to 15.7% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at only 8.81% in 2021-2022.

Compared to nearby higher-performing schools like Palos West Elementary School and High Point Elementary School, Goodings Grove School's declining academic performance and increasing chronic absenteeism raise concerns about equity and the distribution of resources within the school and district. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs and demographics of the Goodings Grove School community.

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.
