Summary:

Broadmeadow Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rantoul, Illinois, serving grades K-5 with a student population of 225. The school is part of the Rantoul City School District 137, which is ranked 803 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Broadmeadow Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.9% to 39.1%, which are significantly higher than the state average. The school also performs poorly on state assessments, with only 10.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 3.4% proficient or better in Mathematics. Broadmeadow struggles to support its diverse student population, with low rankings for various subgroups compared to other Illinois elementary schools. Despite relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,772 to $17,294, the school has not shown significant improvement in its rankings or academic outcomes.

The challenges faced by Broadmeadow Elementary are reflective of the broader issues within the Rantoul City School District 137, as the other elementary schools in the district, such as Eastlawn Elementary, Pleasant Acres Elementary, and Northview Elementary, also perform poorly on academic measures and have high chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that addressing the challenges at Broadmeadow will require a comprehensive and sustained effort from the district and community.

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.
