Summary

Hayt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with an enrollment of 861 students. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 698 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Hayt Elementary School, ranging from $12,374 to $17,531 over the past few years, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 38.7% of Hayt students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, only 23.9% of Hayt students were proficient or better, compared to 27.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also struggles with significant achievement gaps among its student subgroups, ranking particularly low for Asian students (0 out of 5 stars) and English Language Learner (ELL) students (1 out of 5 stars) in ELA and Mathematics.

When comparing Hayt Elementary School to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes clear that Hayt is underperforming compared to its peers. For example, Chappell Elementary School, which is only 1.55 miles away, outperforms Hayt in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. Similarly, Peirce Elementary International Studies School, which is 0.8 miles away, significantly outperforms Hayt in academic achievement. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Hayt Elementary School, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years, are likely contributing to the school's poor academic performance.
