Summary

Eberhart Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Chicago Public Schools District 299, with 1,016 students located in the Gage Park neighborhood of Chicago, IL. Despite its high per-student spending, Eberhart Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom 15% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eberhart Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.4% to 42.5% over the past few years, far exceeding district and state averages. Academically, the school struggles, with only 26.9% of students proficient or better in ELA and just 13.1% proficient in math, compared to 42.8% and 27.3% for the district, respectively. Eberhart also ranks in the bottom 30-40% of Illinois elementary schools for its Hispanic, English Learner, Special Education, and Low-Income student populations.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the same district, such as Marquette Elementary School, Tarkington Elementary School, and Hurley Elementary School, generally outperform Eberhart Elementary on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics are contributing to Eberhart's poor performance, which has persisted for many years with little to no improvement.
