what percent of non-low income students meet or exceed standards on the PSAE?
Earlier I posted some data on Proviso Township High Schools (District 209).
Proviso ranked 26th of 27 districts in suburban Cook County in the percent of students who meet or exceed standards on the Prairie State Achievement Exam. And District 209 would have to make substantial improvement--go from 22.5% passing to 33.9% to tie #25 Thornton, which is 4.3% behind #24 Thornton Fractional.
District 209 looks pretty bad.
But the story is actually worse than it first appears.
Let's assume that all low income students fail to meet standards. What percent of non-low income students meet or exceed standards? How do districts rank?
If one assumes every low income student fails the PSAE, only 34% District 209 students who are not low income meet or exceed standards. The next lowest district is 59%.
This is appalling. The district is severely dysfunctional. Remember, District 209 spends $25,360 per student which ranks the district seventh in spending of the 27 districts.
I'm curious where District 209 would rank among Chicago Public Schools using the methodology of considering what percent of non-low income students pass.
Could it be that District 209 operates the three least effective schools in the state, while spending money in excess of Riverside-Brookfield, Lyons Township and Homewood-Flossmoor?
