Pre-K Center at Bishop Ford School Site

No state test scores are available for this school, which makes it difficult to directly compare academic performance against the district's 65% ELA and 63% math averages. The school did not report proficiency data, so parents evaluating academic rigor will need to look at other indicators like class size (25 students, essentially matching the district average) and the teacher survey on instruction quality, which came in at 79% — notably below the district average of 89%.

The survey data reveals a school struggling with internal culture. Teacher trust in the principal sits at 58%, and teacher collegial trust is even lower at 49% — both significantly below what teachers report in other District 15 schools. Teacher instruction quality scores (79%) also trail the district average (89%), suggesting the day-to-day classroom experience may not be as strong as in peer schools. With only 25 teacher responses to the survey, there's also a risk that the data doesn't represent the full faculty. Attendance data wasn't provided, but the school's small size means every student's presence or absence has a noticeable impact on community feel.

The student body is predominantly white (52%) with substantial Hispanic (21%) and multi-racial (12%) representation, giving a diversity index of 73%. Only 16% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting the neighborhood's affluence — the median household income in Windsor Terrace-South Slope is $138,231 with just 6.7% poverty. The school draws from a highly educated community where 73% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher, which often correlates with high parent involvement and expectations.

Safety scores are moderate (55th percentile), and while there's decent transit, the neighborhood scores lower on health environment indicators — parents sensitive to environmental factors like air quality may want to dig deeper. The area has parks and local businesses that give it a village-like feel.
