McKinley Elementary School

Summary:

McKinley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in South Holland, Illinois, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 180 students. The school is part of the South Holland School District 150, which is ranked 551 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McKinley Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with only 24.6% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 23.5% in Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment is also below the state average, with only 31.3% of students proficient or better. These academic challenges may be linked to the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (93.33%) and the increasing chronic absenteeism rate, which rose from 6.3% in 2019-2020 to 32.3% in 2021-2022.

Compared to nearby schools, Carol Moseley Braun School in the Dolton School District 149 has slightly higher academic performance, while Wolcott School in the Thornton School District 154 has significantly higher performance. However, all three schools are performing well below the state averages. McKinley Elementary School's African American students have consistently ranked in the top quartile of Illinois elementary schools for this subgroup, but the school's special education students have consistently ranked in the bottom third, suggesting a need for more targeted support.

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.
