Schubert Elementary School

Summary:

Schubert Elementary School is a public elementary school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 540 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Schubert Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Illinois elementary schools, with only 11.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 3.1-3.5% proficient or better in Math, significantly below the state and district averages. The school's student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learners, also perform poorly compared to their peers across the state. Schubert has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 43.6% in 2021-2022. The nearby schools, such as Christopher House Chrt Elementary School, Camras Elementary School, and Prieto Math-Science Elementary School, generally outperform Schubert in academic metrics and have lower chronic absenteeism rates.

While Schubert Elementary School has seen a steady increase in per-student spending, from $12,386 in 2019-2020 to $16,602 in 2022-2023, this increased funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges. Addressing the root causes of the school's struggles, such as student engagement, teacher quality, and community support, could be crucial in driving meaningful progress.

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.
