Summary:

Capron Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Capron, Illinois, with 172 students and part of the North Boone CUSD 200 district.

Capron Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the North Boone CUSD 200 district and the state of Illinois in terms of proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams for English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 31% of Capron students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46.3% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In Mathematics, Capron's proficiency rates were even lower, with only 21.1% of 3rd graders and 21.7% of 4th graders meeting or exceeding standards, compared to 40.8% and 39.8% for the district, respectively. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 26.3% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average of 17.4%.

The nearby Manchester Elementary School and Poplar Grove Elementary School, which are also part of the North Boone CUSD 200 district, have consistently outperformed Capron Elementary School on academic measures. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Manchester and Poplar Grove had ELA proficiency rates of 45% and 42.2%, respectively, compared to Capron's 31%. These nearby schools also had lower chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.1% to 16.3%, compared to Capron's 17.2%. The high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students at Capron Elementary School may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates could be a key area of focus for the school to improve student outcomes.

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.
