Revere Elementary School

Summary:

Revere Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Chicago Public Schools District 299, with 215 students located in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago. Unfortunately, Revere Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing schools in Illinois, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Revere Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 0-5.3% of Revere students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 21.3-39.2% for the district and 30.6-49.9% for the state. In mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, with 0-9.1% of Revere students meeting standards, compared to 16-22.2% for the district and 24.8-33.8% for the state. Revere Elementary has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 44.4% to 62.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Revere Elementary serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 79.53% to 96.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing Revere Elementary to the nearby schools in the same district, it is clear that Revere is the lowest-performing school in the area. For example, South Shore Fine Arts Elementary School, which is just 0.55 miles away, outperforms Revere in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency by a significant margin. Revere Elementary's performance has remained consistently poor over the past several years, with no signs of significant improvement, and the school's ranking among Illinois elementary schools has remained in the bottom 5-10% during this time period.

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.
