Robert Frost Junior High School

Summary:

Robert Frost Junior High School is a public middle school in Schaumburg, Illinois, serving 677 students in grades 7-8. 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.

Robert Frost Junior High School consistently performs well academically, with 64.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 49.8% proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly higher than the state averages. The school's 8th-grade students outperform the state and district averages in both subjects. The school's diverse student population, including strong performances from African American, English Language Learner, Hispanic, and Multi-racial students, is a testament to the school's commitment to equity and inclusion.

While the school's academic achievements are impressive, there is a concern about the increase in chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 4.3% to 16.9%. This rate is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools like Dwight D. Eisenhower Junior High School. The school's increased per-student spending and reasonable student-teacher ratio suggest that the district is allocating resources effectively to support student learning and well-being.

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.
