Strassburg Elementary

Summary:

Strassburg Elementary is a public elementary school located in Sauk Village, Illinois, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 363 students. The school is part of the Ccsd 168 district, which is ranked 800 out of 813 districts in Illinois and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Strassburg Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and equity concerns. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.4% in 2019-2020 to 38.1% in 2020-2021, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Wagoner Elementary. Academically, Strassburg Elementary's proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) are consistently low compared to the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 15.7% of Strassburg students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.2% statewide, and only 3.2% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 28.4% statewide.

The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school's African American students perform relatively better, the school's Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students all perform poorly. Strassburg Elementary's poor performance is likely influenced by the broader challenges facing the Ccsd 168 district and the Sauk Village community, such as low socioeconomic status and limited resources. Addressing these systemic issues may be necessary to drive sustainable improvements at the school level.

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.
