Summary

Farnsworth Elementary School serves 502 students in prekindergarten through grade 8 in Chicago, among several nearby elementary and PK–8 schools. Its 2025–26 results are mixed, with math closer to state performance than English Language Arts (ELA). The clearest concern is ELA: 41% of students were proficient, compared with 56% statewide and 46% across Chicago Public Schools District 299.

Compared with nearby schools, Farnsworth’s ELA result is especially weak: it was the lowest among 10 schools with comparable scores and 20 points below their average. Math is a relative strength against the district, but not nearby peers: 38% were proficient, 9 points above the district and 2 points below the state, while the school ranked sixth of 10 nearby schools and was 5 points below their average. Results also vary by grade: math proficiency was above the state in grades 3 and 6, by 10 and 16 points, respectively, while ELA was below the state in every tested grade.

Scores have fluctuated rather than risen steadily: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA fell from 47% to 41%, and math from 43% to 38%. SchoolDigger ranked Farnsworth in the 32nd percentile statewide and gave it 2 stars in 2025–26, down 27 percentile points from the prior year. Context includes a relatively low student–teacher ratio of 11.4 in 2024–25 and 38% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings were notably higher for English Language Learner Students, at the 85th percentile in 2024–25 versus 59th overall, and for Male Students, at the 62nd percentile in 2025–26 versus 32nd overall.
