Reba O Steck Elementary School

Summary:

Reba O Steck Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Aurora, Illinois, serving 660 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Indian Prairie CUSD 204 district, which is ranked 132 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Reba O Steck consistently outperforms state and district averages in academic achievement, with 62.1% of students proficient or better in ELA and 53.4% in Math, compared to 41.2% and 28.4% statewide, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong in 4th and 5th grade ELA, and it also excels in science, with 76.3% of students proficient or better on the ISA science assessment. Reba O Steck demonstrates strong performance across various student subgroups, including African American, Asian, and Hispanic students, who all rank in the top quartile of their respective statewide subgroups. However, the school's performance for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively lower.

Compared to nearby schools within the Indian Prairie CUSD 204 district, such as White Eagle Elementary and Nancy Young Elementary, Reba O Steck outperforms them in both academic achievement and student group performance. When compared to schools in the neighboring Aurora East Unified School District 131, which has a lower district ranking, Reba O Steck's performance is significantly higher across all metrics. The school's strong resource allocation, with a per-student spending of $12,023 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.8, may contribute to its success. However, the recent increase in chronic absenteeism, from 2.7% in 2019-2020 to 19.9% in 2022-2023, is a concern that the school and district should address.

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.

The office staff is so unprofessional. Great example for our students... NOT! Principal is horrible. She cares more about herself than students. Not a diverse school staff wise which leads to a lot of racism against kids who aren’t white. Close Quote

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.
