Eastlawn Elementary School

Summary:

Eastlawn Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rantoul, Illinois, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 315 students. 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.

Eastlawn Elementary School faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 54.5% in 2020-2021 to 29.8% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average and the surrounding schools in the district. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams, is consistently among the lowest in the state. For example, in 2023-2024, only 4.5% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 37.8% statewide, and 0% of 3rd and 4th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 33.8% and 28.4% statewide, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learner students, who rank in the bottom 5% of Illinois elementary schools in both ELA and Mathematics.

While Eastlawn Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending of $16,858 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.5, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The other elementary schools in the Rantoul City School District, such as Broadmeadow Elementary and Northview Elementary, generally perform better than Eastlawn Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics, though they still struggle compared to the state average.

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.
