Summary

Clissold Elementary School is a public school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 476 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 698 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clissold Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 39% of Clissold students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was even lower at 17.5%, compared to 27.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. As a result, Clissold Elementary School has been ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,308 and 1,523 out of over 2,000 schools in the state over the past several years.

In comparison, nearby schools such as Keller Elementary Gifted Magnet School, Mount Greenwood Elementary School, and Cassell Elementary School have much higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates and higher school rankings. Addressing the challenges at Clissold Elementary School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to the school's underperformance.
