Winston Churchill Elementary School

Summary:

Winston Churchill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Schaumburg, Illinois, serving 583 students in grades K-6 and part of the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district.

While the school has some areas of strength, such as its 5th-grade English Language Arts performance exceeding district and state averages, it faces challenges in overall academic achievement. Winston Churchill Elementary School has lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (44.6%) and Mathematics (36%) compared to the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district (57.8% and 45% respectively) and the state of Illinois (41.2% and 28.4% respectively). The school's performance has been consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.3% in 2019-2020 to 25.7% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district's average.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Fairview Elementary School and Hoover Math and Science Academy within the same Schaumburg CCSD 54 district consistently outperform Winston Churchill Elementary School in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This performance gap suggests that there may be opportunities for Winston Churchill Elementary School to learn from the practices of the more successful nearby schools and address the root causes of the chronic absenteeism issue to improve overall student 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.
