Summary

Kellman Corporate Community Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kellman Corporate Community Elementary significantly underperforms compared to the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.6% of Kellman students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 49.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Kellman struggles to serve its student subgroups effectively, with African American and low socioeconomic status students ranking in the bottom 25% and 10% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as LEARN Charter-Campbell Campus, Johnson Elementary School, and Faraday Elementary School, generally outperform Kellman Corporate Community Elementary in academic proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and other key metrics. This suggests that the challenges faced by Kellman may be specific to the school itself, rather than solely due to district-level factors. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Kellman, ranging from $16,371 to $27,084 over the past few years, the school has shown little to no improvement in its academic performance or other key metrics over the past decade.
