CICS - Irving Park

88% 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). 19% of students were chronically absent in 2026 - below what's typical for CPS elementary schools. 52% of teachers stayed from one year to the next - below what's typical for CPS elementary schools.

Cultural fit

19% of students were chronically absent in 2026 - below what's typical for CPS elementary schools (ISBE Report Card 2026).

Academic performance

37% 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. 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).

Academic fit

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

Teacher-Teacher Trust, Socialization of New Teachers, and Innovation are rated above the CPS average; Classroom Disruptions, Teacher Safety, and Academic Press 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.
