Better than 18% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

Crown Elementary Community Acd Fine Arts Center is a public elementary school serving 103 students in grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois. 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.

Crown Elementary significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 31.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 6.3% proficient or better in math. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years. Additionally, Crown Elementary serves a high-poverty student population, with 76.7% to 97.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.9 to 10.4 over the past few years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Cardenas Elementary School and Legacy Elementary Charter School, Crown Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's uneven performance across student subgroups suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement, and targeted interventions, increased student engagement, and a focus on effective teaching practices could potentially help Crown Elementary make progress and better serve its students.
