At a glance

14% of students were chronically absent in 2026 - below what's typical for CPS elementary schools (ISBE Report Card 2026). 13% of students met or exceeded standards on the 2026 IAR - in the lower quarter of CPS elementary schools with published results. ISBE did not publish math for 39 schools where fewer than 10 students met the standard, so those schools are not in this comparison. In 2025–26, there were 3 applications recorded for 1 offer (GoCPS, 2025–26 school year - the most recent seat data SchoolNav has).

Climate survey
Unknown - no CPS school ID on record

5Essentials - the latest survey in detail

Reflective Dialogue, Instructional Leadership, and Socialization of New Teachers are rated above the CPS average; Inquiry-Based Science Instruction, Classroom Rigor, and School Safety 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.
