MacArthur Intrntl Spanish Academy

Summary:

MacArthur Intrntl Spanish Academy is a public elementary school serving 456 students in grades K-6 in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, which is part of the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district.

While the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district is ranked 168 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating, MacArthur Intrntl Spanish Academy faces several challenges. The school has lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 39.8% of students proficient in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to 57.8% for the district and 41.2% for the state. Additionally, the school has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 16.6% in 2023-2024, much higher than the district and state averages. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, whose ranking dropped from 312 out of 826 Illinois schools in 2023-2024 to 708 out of 768 in 2021-2022, with a 0-star rating.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the same district, such as Hoover Math and Science Academy and Fairview Elementary School, MacArthur Intrntl Spanish Academy generally underperforms, with significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The school's declining performance over time, from a 5-star rating in 2014-2015 to a 3-star rating in recent years, suggests that it may need to re-evaluate its instructional practices, support systems, and resource allocation to better serve its students and improve academic outcomes.

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.
