Chauncey H Duker School

Summary:

Chauncey H Duker School is an elementary school located in McHenry, Illinois, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 390 students. The school is part of the McHenry CCSD 15 district, which is ranked 408 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chauncey H Duker School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.5% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.2% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In Mathematics, only 16% of students were proficient or better, compared to 25.2% for the district and 28.4% for the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and White students, who ranked in the bottom 20% and 30% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively, in Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.0% in 2019-2020 to 15.6% in 2022-2023, well above the district and state averages.

Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to the district average, its academic outcomes remain significantly below the district and state levels. When compared to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Valley View Elementary School and Riverwood Elementary School, Chauncey H Duker School generally underperforms, with lower academic proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. These findings suggest that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's underperformance, and addressing these issues should be a priority for the school and district to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
