Summary:

The Chicago Park Elementary district in Grass Valley, California, consists of two K-8 schools, Chicago Park Elementary and Chicago Park Community Charter, which share a campus and serve a combined 163 students with similar economic backgrounds and per-student funding.

Comparing the two schools, Chicago Park Community Charter stands out for its stronger overall academic performance, with 75% of students proficient in English and 67% in math, outperforming Chicago Park Elementary (60% and 42%, respectively). Both schools exceed California state averages in these subjects. The larger Chicago Park Elementary shows notable strengths in specific grades, such as exceptional 3rd grade English and 4th grade math scores, but experiences a significant drop in 5th-grade performance that is a key area for improvement.

The Chicago Park Elementary district as a whole ranks in the top 26% statewide and has shown consistent year-over-year improvement. While both schools have low chronic absenteeism, a performance gap exists in science, where the district average outpaces the state but Chicago Park Elementary lags. The equitable funding and shared campus suggest that investigating and sharing successful instructional practices between the two schools could benefit all students in the district.
