Acero Charter Schools - SPC Daniel Zizumbo

91% of students with IEPs spend most of the school day in general classrooms - above what's typical for CPS elementary schools (ISBE Report Card 2026).

Cultural fit

30% of students were chronically absent in 2026 - about what's typical for CPS elementary schools (ISBE Report Card 2026).

Academic performance

Adjusted for low-income share, results sit in the middle 50% of CPS schools with published IAR results (adjusted view, disclosed method - ISBE Report Card 2026). 32% of students met or exceeded standards on the 2026 IAR - in the middle 50% of CPS elementary schools with published results (ISBE Report Card 2026). ISBE did not publish math for 39 schools where fewer than 10 students met the standard, so they are not in this comparison.

Academic fit

91% of teachers stayed from one year to the next - about what's typical for CPS elementary schools (ISBE Report Card 2026). Average class size is 27.3; about 16.1 students per teacher, computed from all-teacher staffing.

Computed from published data with its source and year on every clause - a description, never a grade. How the adjusted view works

Parent Involvement in School, Emotional Health, and Student Peer Relationships are rated above the CPS average; Inquiry-Based Science Instruction, Math Instruction, and Reflective Dialogue are rated below it this year.

From the 2026 CPS 5Essentials survey (25-26). Scores are benchmarked 1–99 (not percentages) - higher is stronger, and each is shown against the CPS average that same year. This is a newer survey on a different benchmark than the component levels above, so the two aren’t directly comparable.
