Hynes Elementary School

Summary:

Hynes Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Morton Grove, Illinois, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 363 students. The school is part of the Golf Education Service District 67, which is ranked 152 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hynes Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 122 and 465 over the past 10 years. The school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics is generally above the state and district averages, with particularly strong results in 3rd and 4th grade. Hynes also excels in serving its special education students, ranking in the top 10% of Illinois elementary schools in this category. However, the school has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 18.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Eugene Field Elementary School and Thomas Edison Elementary School, Hynes Elementary School's academic performance is generally stronger, particularly in ELA and Mathematics.

Despite these strengths, Hynes has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, which is a concerning trend that the school and district should address, along with the increase in chronic absenteeism.

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.
