Summary

Chopin Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with an enrollment of 320 students. The school faces significant challenges, consistently performing below the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and Illinois state averages on standardized tests.

Chopin Elementary School struggles with low academic proficiency, with only 20.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 7.3% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to district and state averages of over 40% and 50%, respectively. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 49.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom 10-15% of Illinois elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as De Diego Elementary Community Academy, Erie Elementary Charter School, and Sabin Elementary Magnet School, generally perform better than Chopin Elementary School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better school rankings. Despite the school's high per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes for the students at Chopin Elementary School.
