Summary

Randolph Elementary School is a public elementary school in Chicago, Illinois, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 298 students. However, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools in academic performance.

Randolph Elementary School's test scores are well below the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.5% of Randolph students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.8% for the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and 53.1% for the state. In mathematics, the proficiency rate at Randolph was only 5.9%, compared to 27.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and low-socioeconomic status students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Montessori of Englewood Charter Elementary School, Joplin Elementary School, and McKay Elementary School, also perform poorly compared to the district and state averages, but generally outperform Randolph Elementary School on academic measures. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Randolph may be a significant factor in the school's low academic performance, and the school's high per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest that simply increasing funding and resources may not be enough to drive improvement.
