Summary:

The Chicago Park Elementary district includes two K–8 schools: Chicago Park Elementary and Chicago Park Community Charter, serving a small community with enrollments of 120 and 43. In 2025–2026, both schools were above the state’s all-grades averages in English language arts and math, but their strongest subjects differ: Chicago Park Elementary stands out in ELA, while Chicago Park Community Charter stands out in math.

Chicago Park Elementary leads in all-grades ELA, with 66% proficient compared with 50% at the charter—a 16-point difference; both exceed the state’s 49% result. The charter leads in math, with 57% compared with 43% at Chicago Park Elementary, a 14-point gap; both are also above the state’s 38%. Chicago Park Elementary recorded 73% in science, 37 points above the state, but there is no reportable all-grades charter result for comparison. Its grade-level ELA results also vary sharply: fifth grade reached 100%, while sixth grade was 36%, 12 points below the same-grade state result.

Recent trends favor Chicago Park Elementary: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, its ELA rose 6 points, math rose 1 point, and science rose 41 points. The charter’s ELA fell 25 points and math fell 10, so the two-school average declined even as the state average rose slightly. SchoolDigger’s rating for Chicago Park Elementary improved from 3 stars and the 52nd percentile in 2023–2024 to 4 stars and the 72nd percentile in 2025–2026. Context measures are similar: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible was 44% at Chicago Park Elementary and 42% at the charter; student–teacher ratios were 15.8 and 16.6, respectively.
