York Center Elementary School

Summary:

York Center Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lombard, Illinois, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 160 students. The school is part of the School District 45 DuPage County, which is ranked 435 out of 813 districts in Illinois and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

York Center Elementary School has consistently ranked in the lower half of Illinois elementary schools, ranging from 883 to 1325 out of over 2,000 schools in recent years, and has a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average to below-average performance compared to other Illinois elementary schools. The school performs relatively well for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the top quartile of Illinois elementary schools for these subgroups, but struggles with Asian and White student performance, ranking in the bottom quartile. Chronic absenteeism has also been a concern, with rates ranging from 10.5% to 22.2% in recent years, higher than the state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30%) and Mathematics (29.4%) are below the state and district averages, though its performance in Science (52.5% proficient) is closer to the averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Westmore Elementary School and Ardmore Elementary School, both in the same district, significantly outperform York Center Elementary School across various metrics, including academic proficiency, statewide ranking, and chronic absenteeism. Schools in neighboring districts, such as Jackson Elementary School (Elmhurst School District 205) and Brook Forest Elementary School (Butler School District 53), also outperform York Center Elementary School in academic achievement and statewide rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at York Center Elementary School (56.88% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance compared to nearby schools with lower percentages of low-income students.

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.
