Summary

Palmer Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 756 students in grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, which is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299.

Academically, Palmer Elementary School is underperforming compared to both the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics were 45.6% and 25.7%, respectively, which are lower than the district averages of 42.8% and 27.3%, and the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%. The school's performance is particularly low in certain subgroups, such as Asian students, Hispanic students, and students with disabilities, where it ranks in the bottom 20-30% of Illinois elementary schools. Additionally, Palmer Elementary has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Beaubien Elementary and Sauganash Elementary, Palmer Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in both ELA and mathematics. These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and higher spending per student compared to Palmer Elementary. The school's declining performance over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 891 out of 2,086 Illinois elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,330 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025, suggests that it may be facing significant challenges in addressing the needs of its student population.
