Hodgkins Elementary School

Summary:

Hodgkins Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Hodgkins, Illinois, with an enrollment of 145 students. The school faces significant challenges, with higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.

Hodgkins Elementary School's performance has declined over the past several years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and star ratings from SchoolDigger. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 29.2% of students were proficient or better in ELA, and only 27.1% were proficient or better in math, compared to the district averages of 64.3% and 51.2%, respectively. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, at 81.38%, is also a contributing factor to its struggles. Notably, the school's performance is significantly lower than the nearby high-performing schools in the La Grange School District 105 South, such as Spring Ave Elementary School and Seventh Ave Elementary School.

Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be spending a relatively high amount per student, with $27,857 spent per student in the 2022-2023 school year. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the school's performance issues, particularly for subgroups like Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who have consistently lower rankings compared to their peers statewide.

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.
