Georgetown Elementary School

Summary:

Georgetown Elementary School is a public elementary school in Aurora, Illinois, serving 444 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Indian Prairie CUSD 204 district, which is ranked 132 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked district, Georgetown Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to both the district and the state of Illinois in academic proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.6% of Georgetown students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 61.2% for the district and 41.2% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics, with only 16.2% of students proficient or better, compared to 53.2% for the district and 28.4% for the state. Georgetown's struggles extend to Science as well, with only 37% of students proficient or better, compared to 74.7% for the district and 53.2% for the state.

Georgetown Elementary School's academic challenges are not limited to overall performance; the school also struggles to support the achievement of various student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. These subgroups consistently rank in the bottom half or bottom third of their respective statewide rankings. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.8% in 2019-2020 to 29.8% in 2022-2023, well above the district and state averages. Nearby Nancy Young Elementary, Fry Elementary, and Reba O Steck Elementary schools within the same district consistently outperform Georgetown Elementary in academic proficiency and have lower chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
