Enders-Salk Elementary School

Summary:

Enders-Salk Elementary School is a public K-6 school in Schaumburg, Illinois, serving a student population of 475. The school is part of the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district, which is ranked 168 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Enders-Salk consistently performs above the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, with particularly strong performance in 6th grade. The school's male, Asian, and Hispanic students outperform their state counterparts, but the English Language Learner (ELL) and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) populations have lower proficiency rates. However, Enders-Salk faces challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 6.7% to 22.0% in recent years, higher than the district average.

Compared to neighboring high-performing schools like Fairview Elementary, Hoover Math and Science Academy, and Campanelli Elementary, Enders-Salk's performance is generally on par or slightly lower, particularly in the upper grade levels. The school's increased per-student spending and stable student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on resource allocation and maintaining a favorable learning environment, but further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to address the areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and the performance of its ELL and low-SES students.

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.
