Park View Elementary is a standout school, consistently ranking among the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics is significantly higher than the district and state averages, with 55.6% of students proficient or better in ELA compared to 44.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. Park View's 5th-grade students also excel, with 64.3% proficient or better in ELA and 33.3% in Mathematics. The school performs well across different student subgroups, including female, male, White, and low-income students.

When compared to nearby schools, Wm Hammerschmidt Elementary and Madison Elementary lag behind Park View in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, Pleasant Lane Elementary also performs well, with similar or higher proficiency rates. This suggests that Park View's success may be partly attributed to its lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a more affluent student population, as well as its smaller class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of 9.6.

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.
