Chicago Park Elementary

The Chicago Park Elementary district in California is home to two elementary schools - Chicago Park Elementary and Chicago Park Community Charter. These schools serve grades K-8 and have a combined enrollment of 153 students, with the majority attending the larger public school, Chicago Park Elementary.

While Chicago Park Elementary has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 42.7%, its academic performance is mixed, with 8th-grade students performing above the state average in ELA and Science, but 3rd and 6th-grade students lagging behind in both ELA and Math. In contrast, Chicago Park Community Charter has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 30.8%, but lacks historical performance data, making it difficult to assess the school's academic quality. Both schools serve a high percentage of students (over 50%) who receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population in the Chicago Park Elementary district.

The analysis of these schools suggests that while Chicago Park Elementary has some academic strengths, it also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and uneven performance across grade levels. The lack of data for Chicago Park Community Charter makes it difficult to draw comprehensive comparisons, but the shared socioeconomic factors between the two schools present opportunities for collaboration and the implementation of targeted support services to address the needs of the district's low-income student population.
