Summary

Falconer Elementary School is a Chicago Public Schools school serving pre-K through grade 6, with 846 students. Its 2025–2026 results show stronger performance in English and math than most nearby schools, alongside a significant attendance concern: chronic absenteeism was 39%, the highest reported rate among nearby schools.

Falconer compares well with nearby schools in overall English language arts (ELA) and math: its proficiency rates were 44% and 27%, respectively. Math was the highest among 10 nearby schools with reported results, while ELA was second-highest, just behind Gray Elementary School at 46%. Still, Falconer was below the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and statewide results: 46% and 56% in ELA, and 29% and 40% in math. Fifth-grade science is a particular weakness: Falconer scored 18%, compared with 35% districtwide and 48% statewide, and ranked second-lowest among nearby schools with results, ahead only of Schubert Elementary School.

ELA proficiency rose from 26% in 2023–2024 to 35% in 2024–2025 and 44% in 2025–2026; math improved overall from 18% to 27%, but slipped from 28% the previous year. SchoolDigger gives Falconer 1 star and a statewide percentile of 20 for 2025–2026, down from 37 two years earlier; it ranks 1,387th of 1,737 Illinois schools. Its student-teacher ratio was 13.0 in 2024–2025, around the middle of the nearby-school range, and 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is English Language Learner Students: a percentile of 45, well above Falconer’s overall 20, indicating a stronger relative ranking for how well the school serves that group.
