Summary

Davis N Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 531 students in grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, which is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Davis N Elementary School significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.6% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Math, only 6.7% of students were proficient or better, compared to 27.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also struggles with extremely 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.

While the nearby Burroughs Elementary, Calmeca Academy, and Gunsaulus Elementary schools generally outperform Davis N Elementary in academic proficiency, they still struggle compared to state averages. Despite the high level of need at Davis N Elementary, the school's per-student spending is only slightly above the district average, suggesting it may be underfunded or lacking in resources to adequately support its students. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, including chronic absenteeism, will require a comprehensive, well-resourced approach from the school, district, and community.
