Roy Elementary School

Summary:

Roy Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 551 students in grades K-5 in Northlake, Illinois. The school is part of the Mannheim School District 83, which is ranked 658 out of 813 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roy Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 28.1% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.2% statewide, and only 12.9% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 28.4% statewide. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 36.9% in the 2021-2022 school year, significantly above the state average. While Hispanic students perform relatively well, White students and students with disabilities perform poorly, ranking in the bottom quarter of Illinois schools.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Dan H Pietrini Elementary School and Passow Elementary School in the Franklin Park School District 84, Roy Elementary School generally underperforms. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has been steadily decreasing, suggesting that it may be making progress in addressing this issue. Despite the relatively high spending of $16,943 per student, the school's academic performance remains below state and district averages, indicating that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices and community engagement, may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
