Village Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 12.3% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 14% for the district and 41.2% for the state. Similarly, the school's math proficiency rates were significantly lower, with only 3.2% of 4th graders and 2.8% of 5th graders meeting or exceeding standards. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 19.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. When comparing Village Elementary School to other nearby schools within the Round Lake CUSD 116 district, it becomes evident that the school is consistently one of the lowest-performing in the district.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well in the past but other subgroups, such as White students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Illinois elementary schools. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 80.87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, is likely a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Addressing these issues will require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and collaboration with the broader community to support the educational success of all 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.
