Ludlow Elementary School

Summary:

Ludlow Elementary School is a small public school in Ludlow, Illinois, serving 61 students in grades K-8. The school has seen a shift in its racial demographics, with a growing Hispanic student population. However, Ludlow Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Ludlow Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate has skyrocketed from 11.5% in 2019-2020 to 55.2% in 2022-2023, far exceeding the state average of 18.2%. Academically, the school's performance is significantly below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 10% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, compared to state averages of 40.5%, 25.7%, and 52%, respectively. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $20,582, which is significantly higher than the state average of $14,721, the school's outcomes remain poor.

In comparison, nearby schools like Armstrong-Ellis Elementary School, GCMS Elementary School, and Fisher Grade School have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. Ludlow Elementary's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the years, suggesting that the school's performance has been worsening relative to other schools in Illinois. The increasing percentage of Hispanic students at Ludlow Elementary may indicate a need for the school to ensure that its curriculum, teaching methods, and support services are culturally responsive and meet the needs of this growing student population.

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.
