Hoyne Elementary School

Summary:

Hoyne Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 227 students in grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, which is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299.

Hoyne Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with only 25.5% of students proficient in ELA and 16.9% proficient in Mathematics, compared to 30.5% and 18.3% for the district, respectively. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.5% to 37.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. While Hoyne's African American students perform better than other student groups, its male and low socioeconomic status students perform much worse, ranking in the bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools.

Interestingly, Hoyne Elementary School's academic performance is significantly lower than nearby schools like Black Magnet Elementary School and Earhart Elementary Opt for Knowl School, which have much higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Hoyne, ranging from $13,463 to $17,524 in recent years, the school's academic outcomes are still lagging, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. The school may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning, as well as address the equity concerns and chronic absenteeism issues that are contributing to its 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.
