Summary:

Linne Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 624 students. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Linne Elementary School has been ranked between 961 and 1344 out of around 2,000 Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linne Elementary School's test scores are generally below the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and Illinois state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.8% of Linne students were proficient or better in ELA compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In math, only 21.7% of Linne students were proficient compared to 18.3% for the district and 28.4% for the state. Linne Elementary also has lower rankings for subgroups like English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students compared to other Illinois elementary schools. Additionally, Linne Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2% in 2019-2020 to 28.8% in 2023-2024, which is well above the district and state averages.

When comparing Linne Elementary to the nearby schools in the same district, such as Brentano Elementary Math & Science Academy and Murphy Elementary School, it generally performs worse on test scores and other metrics. The lower performance of subgroups at Linne Elementary suggests potential equity issues that may need to be addressed, and the sharp increase in chronic absenteeism is concerning and may be impacting student learning and achievement. Despite the rise in per-student spending at Linne Elementary, from $11,504 in 2019-2020 to $15,739 in 2022-2023, the school's academic outcomes have not seen commensurate gains.

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.
