Summary:

Emily G Johns School is a public middle school located in Plano, Illinois, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 528 students. The school is part of the Plano CUSD 88 district.

While Emily G Johns School has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $11,619 to $13,583 in recent years, the school is facing several challenges. Chronic absenteeism rates have significantly increased, rising from 4.3% in 2019-2020 to 26.8% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels.

The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.46% to 59.66% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Emily G Johns School to nearby middle schools, such as Plano Middle School and Kaneland Harter Middle School, it becomes evident that Emily G Johns School is underperforming in several key areas, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and student-teacher ratios.

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.
