Summary:

Jonas E Salk Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bolingbrook, Illinois, serving 423 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Valley View CUSD 365U district, which is ranked 385 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Valley View CUSD 365U district, Jonas E Salk Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 35%, compared to 45.4% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate for all grades was 23.5%, lower than the district's 28.1% and the state's 28.4%. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 607 out of 2,086 Illinois elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 993 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, while the school's African American and Hispanic student subgroups have performed relatively better compared to their statewide counterparts, the school's White and Special Education student subgroups have struggled, ranking in the bottom 50% of Illinois elementary schools. Compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Independence Elementary and Oak View Elementary, Jonas E Salk Elementary School has generally underperformed in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, the school's performance is better than some other nearby schools, such as Bernard J Ward Elementary. Notably, the school's performance is significantly lower than that of Prairieview Elementary, a school in the neighboring Center Cass School District 66, which has consistently higher proficiency rates and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.
