Gregory Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1291 and 1740 out of around 2,000 schools. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 14.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 6.6% proficient or better in mathematics. The school also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, which have increased from 18.2% in 2019-2020 to 47.9% in 2023-2024. Nearby schools, such as Spring Creek Elementary, Maud E.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,495 in the 2022-2023 school year, its academic performance remains significantly below the state and district averages. The school's diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, suggests that targeted interventions and support are needed to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes. The nearby Montessori Elementary School stands out as a higher-performing school, providing a potential model for improvement at Gregory Elementary.

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.
