Olympia North Elementary School

Summary:

Olympia North Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Danvers, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 289. The school is part of the Olympia CUSD 16 district, which is ranked 394 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Olympia North Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally higher than the state and district averages, particularly in the upper grades (4th and 5th). For example, in 2023-2024, 50% of 5th-grade students at Olympia North were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.8% for the district and 39.1% for the state. In Mathematics, 48.7% of 4th-grade students at Olympia North were proficient or better, compared to 31.1% for the district and 28.4% for the state. However, the school's performance lags behind the highly-ranked Thomas Metcalf School, which is part of the ISU Laboratory Schools district and consistently ranks in the top 10% of Illinois elementary schools.

Olympia North's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 10% of Illinois elementary schools for this subgroup. This is in contrast to the nearby schools, such as Fox Creek Elementary and Sheridan Elementary, which have higher percentages of low-SES students and lower academic performance. However, Olympia North's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated significantly, from a low of 9.7% in 2019-2020 to a high of 21.0% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.

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.
