Meredosia-Chambersburg Elementary School consistently performs below the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.7% of 3rd graders, 21.4% of 4th graders, and 12.5% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 30.6%, 37.8%, and 39.1%, respectively. The school's Mathematics proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the state, ranging from 7.1% to 12.5% across the grades, compared to the state averages of 33.8% to 26.8%. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.9% in 2019-2020 to 32.6% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Meredosia-Chambersburg Elementary School to the nearby schools, such as North Jacksonville School, Lincoln Elementary School, and Washington Elementary School, it becomes clear that the academic performance challenges are not unique to this school. Many of the surrounding schools also struggle with low proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics, particularly for students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the school's increased spending per student, from $15,914 in 2019-2020 to $20,382 in 2022-2023, the academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning.

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.
