Hyde Park Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1391-1966 out of over 2,000 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects, with only 21.9% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.2% statewide and 17% in the Waukegan district. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (71.93% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and a high percentage of English Language Learner (ELL) students. Additionally, Hyde Park Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 43.4% in the 2020-2021 school year.

While the nearby schools in the Waukegan CUSD 60 district, such as Lyon Magnet Elementary, Whittier Elementary, and Glen Flora Elementary, also perform poorly on academic measures and have high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, one exception is the Andrew Cooke Magnet Elementary School, which outperforms Hyde Park Elementary and the district on academic measures, despite serving a similar demographic of students. The high percentage of ELL students at Hyde Park Elementary School could present an opportunity to implement targeted language and literacy interventions to support this population and improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
