Summary:

Jane Addams Elementary School is a public elementary school in Springfield, Illinois, serving 290 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Springfield School District 186, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jane Addams Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years. The school's performance is particularly concerning, with only 12.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 13.7% in Mathematics, compared to 25.9% and 16.5% in the district, respectively. The school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 37.8% to 64.1% over the past 5 years, are significantly higher than the state average and surrounding schools in the district. The school's performance is especially low for certain student subgroups, such as female students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While the nearby schools in the Springfield School District 186 also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, there are a few exceptions, such as Owen Marsh Elementary, which has significantly higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The data suggests that Jane Addams Elementary School and the surrounding schools in the district could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly for underperforming student subgroups.

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.
