Summary

Plamondon Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Chicago, Illinois, with an enrollment of just 85 students. As part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 698 out of 811 districts in Illinois, Plamondon has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 849 and 1642 out of over 2,000 schools.

Plamondon Elementary School faces significant challenges in supporting its students' academic and social-emotional needs. The school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores, with only 29.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 19.3% proficient or better in mathematics. Additionally, Plamondon has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 84.47% to 86.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Hammond Elementary, Pickard Elementary, and Telpochcalli Elementary are also part of the low-performing Chicago Public Schools District 299, they tend to have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and serve student populations with slightly lower levels of poverty compared to Plamondon Elementary School. The school's declining performance over time, uneven performance across student subgroups, and the significant challenges it faces suggest that Plamondon requires targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
