Colene Hoose Elementary School

Summary:

Colene Hoose Elementary School is a public K-5 school in Normal, Illinois, part of the McLean County Unified School District 5. With 430 students, the school has a diverse student body, with over 50% White, 12% African American, 10% Hispanic, and 14% Asian students.

Colene Hoose Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state on standardized tests, with particularly strong performance among Asian and Special Education students. However, the school has seen a concerning rise in chronic absenteeism, from 7.5% to 24.3% in recent years. Despite its academic strengths, the school's statewide ranking has declined over time, suggesting challenges that may be impacting its overall performance compared to other Illinois elementary schools. The school's higher spending per student of $13,845 is also noteworthy.

Compared to nearby schools, Colene Hoose generally performs better than Fairview Elementary and Oakdale Elementary, but lags behind the higher-performing Northpoint Elementary and Prairieland Elementary in the Bloomington School District 87. The school's challenges with chronic absenteeism and disparities in subgroup performance suggest the need to address underlying socioeconomic factors impacting student engagement and learning.

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.
