New Field Elementary School
CPS choice · PK,K-4
At a glance
94% of teachers stayed from one year to the next - above what's typical for CPS elementary schools (ISBE Report Card 2026). 78% of students with IEPs spend most of the school day in general classrooms - above what's typical for CPS elementary schools. In 2025–26, 54 applications were recorded for 15 offers (GoCPS, 2025–26 school year - the most recent seat data SchoolNav has).
- Cultural fit
- 21% of students were chronically absent in 2026 - below what's typical for CPS elementary schools (ISBE Report Card 2026).
- Academic performance
- Year-over-year student growth was at the 35th percentile statewide in ELA and the 41st in math (ISBE Report Card 2026). 35% of students met or exceeded standards on the 2026 IAR - in the middle 50% of CPS elementary schools with published results. ISBE did not publish math for 39 schools where fewer than 10 students met the standard, so they are not in this comparison.
- Social-emotional fit
- 78% 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).

5Essentials - the latest survey in detail
Teacher Influence, Socialization of New Teachers, and Student Responsibility are rated above the CPS average; Teacher Safety, English Instruction, and Peer Support for Academic Work 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.
