Coolidge Elementary School

Summary:

Coolidge Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lansing, Illinois, serving 666 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Lansing School District 158, which is ranked 651 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coolidge Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,154 and 1,317 out of 2,067 schools in the past 5 years. The school's performance on standardized tests is below the state and district averages, with only 29.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 15.5% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. However, the school performs relatively well in certain student subgroups, such as African American students, who rank in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools in this category. Coolidge Elementary School also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 24.17% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

While Coolidge Elementary School performs similarly to other schools in the Lansing School District 158, such as Oak Glen Elementary School and Reavis Elementary School, it appears to perform better in certain areas when compared to schools in neighboring districts, such as Lincoln Elementary School in Calumet City and Greenwood Elementary School in South Holland. However, the school's significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.4% in 2019-2020 to 20.0% in 2023-2024, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and intervention.

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.
