Summary

Green W Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 306 students in grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, which is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299. The school consistently performs below the district and state averages in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 38.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 12.4% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year.

Green W Elementary School has significant achievement gaps between student subgroups, with particularly low performance for Special Education students. However, the school's African American students perform relatively better, ranking 157 out of 692 Illinois elementary schools in English Language Arts proficiency in 2022-2023. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 40.1% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. As a result, Green W Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Illinois elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Vanderpoel Elementary Magnet School, Fort Dearborn Elementary School, and Evers Elementary School, also perform below the district and state averages in academic proficiency, but generally outperform Green W Elementary School. This suggests that factors beyond just the student population may be contributing to the lower performance at Green W Elementary School, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and implementing targeted interventions for struggling student subgroups could be potential areas of focus for the school to improve overall academic performance.
