Three Oaks School

Summary:

Three Oaks School is a public elementary school serving 416 students in grades K-5 in Cary, Illinois, which is part of the Cary CCSD 26 district.

While Three Oaks School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, its performance lags behind nearby schools in the district. The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates of 39.7% in ELA and 29.6% in Math, compared to 46.2% and 29.7% for the district, and 41.2% and 28.4% for the state. Additionally, Three Oaks School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.3% in 2019-2020 to 14% in the current school year, which is higher than the district and state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student groups, with particularly low rankings for Hispanic students and English Language Learners.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Cary CCSD 26 district, such as Briargate Elementary School and Deer Path Elementary School, Three Oaks School generally performs worse on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. This may be related to the school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (31.73% in 2022-2023), which is a factor that can contribute to lower academic performance. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1, Three Oaks School's performance has declined over the past several years, and addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for the 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.
