Anderson Elementary School

Summary:

Anderson Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Saint Charles, Illinois, serving 445 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the St Charles CUSD 303 district, which is ranked 59 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Anderson Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 393 out of 1,948 Illinois elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 693 out of 2,086 in 2018-2019, its ranking and rating have generally been lower compared to the other nearby schools in the St Charles CUSD 303 district, such as Corron Elementary, Ferson Creek School, and Wild Rose Elementary. Additionally, Anderson Elementary School has lower rankings for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, compared to the overall school ranking.

Another area of concern for Anderson Elementary School is its significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased from 4.8% in 2019-2020 to 29.3% in 2023-2024, notably higher than the chronic absenteeism rates of the nearby schools in the St Charles CUSD 303 district. The school's academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43.1%) and Mathematics (36%) lower than the district and state averages, also suggests that Anderson Elementary School may face unique challenges compared to its neighboring schools. These factors, along with the school's higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicate that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's lower performance.

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.
