George F Cassell Elementary School

96% of teachers stayed from one year to the next, above what's typical for CPS elementary schools (ISBE Report Card 2026). On the 2026 IAR, 60% of students met or exceeded standards, placing the school in the top 20% of CPS elementary schools with published results. ISBE did not publish math results for 39 schools where fewer than 10 students met the standard, so those schools are not included in this comparison.

Academic performance

60% of students met or exceeded standards on the 2026 IAR - in the top 20% 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. The state's 2026 rating is Approaching Exemplary - the second-highest of its five ratings.

There is 1 school counselor per 373 students (ISBE Report Card 2026). 52% of students with IEPs spend most of the school day in general classrooms - about what's typical for CPS elementary schools.

School Commitment, Teacher Influence, and Teacher-Parent Trust are rated above the CPS average 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.
