Warsaw Elementary School

Summary:

Warsaw Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Warsaw, Illinois, with 211 students. The school is part of the Warsaw CUSD 316 district, which is ranked 488 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (13.27%) and a relatively high per-student spending of $13,855, Warsaw Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 19.1% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and the proficiency rate in Mathematics was 18.2%, compared to the state average of 28.4%. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 24.3% in the 2020-2021 school year, though the rate has improved in recent years to 14.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, still higher than the state average of 13.6%.

When analyzing the performance of different student subgroups, Warsaw Elementary School's female students and white students have significantly lower rankings compared to their male and non-white peers in the state, suggesting potential equity issues. Interestingly, the nearby Nauvoo Elementary and Carthage Primary schools have generally outperformed Warsaw Elementary School on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to Warsaw Elementary School's underperformance.

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.
