Reavis Elementary School

Summary:

Reavis Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lansing, Illinois, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 377 students. The school is part of the Lansing School District 158, which is ranked 651 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Reavis Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1073 and 1509 out of around 2,000 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and Illinois Science Assessment (ISA), is generally below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.8% of Reavis students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.2% statewide, and 23.7% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 28.4% statewide. The school's performance on these assessments has been declining over the past few years, with proficiency rates dropping across all grade levels and subject areas. However, the school's African American and Hispanic students perform significantly better than their peers at the state level, while the school's special education and disabled student populations perform significantly worse.

Reavis Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of student demographics, with a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and a significant population of students with special needs. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 36.3% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly above the state average. When compared to other elementary schools in the Lansing and Calumet City areas, such as Oak Glen Elementary and Coolidge Elementary, Reavis Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of academic achievement, chronic absenteeism, and student demographics, but the nearby schools also struggle with similar challenges, suggesting that the issues faced by Reavis Elementary School are not unique to the school but rather reflect broader systemic issues within the district and region.

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.
