Better than 5% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

Bouchet Elementary Math & Science Academy is a Chicago Public Schools school serving 660 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade. Its results show a clear difference between subjects, with English language arts (ELA) stronger than math. The most important concern is math proficiency: in 2025–2026, only 8% of students were proficient.

ELA is the school’s stronger subject, but results in both subjects trail broader benchmarks. ELA proficiency was 33%, compared with 46% in Chicago Public Schools District 299 and 56% statewide; it was also 2 points below the nearby-school average of 35%. Math proficiency was 8%, versus 29% in the district and 40% statewide, and 5 points below the nearby-school average of 13%. Among Bouchet and the ten nearby schools, only two had lower math results. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 54%, compared with 39% in the district, 24% statewide, and a nearby-school average of 44%.

ELA proficiency improved from 15% in 2023–2024 to 33% in 2025–2026, while math rose and then fell, from 8% to 17% to 8%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking dropped from the 17th percentile and 1 star in 2024–2025 to the 5th percentile and 0 stars in 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 13:1, close to the nearby average of 12.4:1, and 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves African American Students was at the 44th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 17th percentile, then at the 6th percentile in 2025–2026, close to the overall 5th. Its measure for Homeless Students also shifted notably, from the 2nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 36th in 2024–2025, when the overall percentile was 17. These group rankings can be affected by small comparison pools, so large changes merit cautious interpretation.
