Providence-Englewood Elementary Charter

Summary:

Providence-Englewood Elementary Charter is a public charter elementary school serving 436 students in grades K-8 in the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($17,233 in 2022-2023) than the district average, Providence-Englewood has struggled with low academic performance. The school's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 25% of students proficient or better in ELA and 13% in math in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.9% in 2019-2020 to 51.8% in 2021-2022, much higher than the district and state averages. While the school's African American students and low-socioeconomic status students perform better than the overall school, they still lag behind their peers at the district and state levels.

The challenges faced by Providence-Englewood appear to be systemic within the district, as nearby schools such as Bass Elementary, Montessori of Englewood Charter, and OToole Elementary also struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. The high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students (89.45% in 2022-2023) at Providence-Englewood likely plays a significant role in the school's academic challenges, and addressing the underlying social and economic factors may be crucial for driving meaningful and sustainable improvements.

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.
