Avon Center Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a rank of 596 out of 2,093 Illinois elementary schools in 2013-2014 (4-star rating) to a rank of 1,111 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking in the top 30% for English Language Learners but in the bottom 50% for female, male, Hispanic, and White students, as well as students with disabilities and low socioeconomic status. Proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 31.9% of students proficient or better in ELA and 20.8% in math.

Avon Center Elementary School's performance lags behind the other Grayslake CCSD 46 elementary schools in the area, such as Woodview School, Prairieview School, and Meadowview School, which have higher statewide rankings, better test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's high percentage of low-income students, with 56.14% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its poor performance, despite spending $16,810 per student, which is higher than the state average.

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.
