Sandoval Elementary School

Summary:

Sandoval Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Sandoval, Illinois, with 203 students. The school is part of the Sandoval CUSD 501 district, which is ranked 777 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sandoval Elementary School consistently performs below the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 15.8% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41.2%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 5.9% of 4th graders and 3.6% of 5th graders meeting or exceeding standards. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, and white students all in the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools. Additionally, the school's rankings for special education, low socioeconomic status, and disabled students are in the bottom 50% of the state.

When comparing Sandoval Elementary School to nearby schools, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For example, Raccoon Cons Elementary School, located just 9.95 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics, as well as a higher overall school ranking. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3 students per teacher in 2022-2023, the increased spending per student, from $9,017 in 2019-2020 to $16,611 in 2022-2023, has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

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.
