Enos Elementary School

Summary:

Enos Elementary School is a public elementary school in Springfield, Illinois, serving 255 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and disparities in subgroup performance.

Enos Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, is consistently lower than the state and Springfield School District 186 averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 25% of Enos students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.2% statewide and 25.9% in the district. In Mathematics, only 10.2% of Enos students were proficient or better, compared to 28.4% statewide and 16.5% in the district. Interestingly, when compared to nearby Iles Elementary School, also part of the Springfield School District 186, Iles consistently outperforms Enos in academic measures.

Enos Elementary School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 73.33% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, as research has shown that students from low-income families often face additional barriers to educational success. To drive meaningful improvements, Enos Elementary School could benefit from a focused effort to address the high chronic absenteeism rates and improve academic performance, particularly in the areas of Mathematics and ELA.

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.
