Summary:

John Muir Literacy Academy is a public elementary school located in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, serving 435 students in grades K-6. It 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.

While John Muir Literacy Academy has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 8.8% in 2019-2020 to 29.3% in 2023-2024, the school's performance in academic areas is mixed. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency rates are below the district and state averages, but its African American students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5% of Illinois elementary schools in this subgroup. Additionally, English Language Learners and students with low socioeconomic status at John Muir perform better than their counterparts in the state, ranking in the top 30% and top 25% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively.

When compared to nearby schools in the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district, such as Lincoln Prairie School, Hoover Math and Science Academy, and Enders-Salk Elementary School, John Muir Literacy Academy generally performs below its peers, particularly in terms of test scores and chronic absenteeism rates. The school's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools may indicate a need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to better support student learning and achievement.

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.
