Summary

Haines Elementary School is a Chicago Public Schools school serving 461 students in prekindergarten through grade 8. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was above state and district levels in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math. Math is its clearest standout: 73% of students were proficient, the highest result among 11 nearby schools and 34 percentage points above the state.

Compared with nearby schools, Haines’s results are strongest in math and more mixed in ELA. Its math proficiency was 73%, versus a nearby-school average of 40%; its ELA proficiency was 67%, above the state by 11 points and the district by 22, but fifth among 11 nearby schools. Grade 5 is a notable soft spot: ELA proficiency was 58%, just 3 points above the state, and seventh among nearby schools with reported results. Haines also had low chronic absenteeism: 8%, compared with 24% statewide and 39% in the district, and lower than every nearby school with a reported figure. Science proficiency was above state and district results in grades 5 and 8, though Haines ranked fifth among nearby schools with reported scores in each grade.

ELA proficiency rose from 52% in 2023–2024 to 73% in 2024–2025, then fell to 67% in 2025–2026; it remains above the state, but the latest result is less exceptional locally than math. SchoolDigger rates Haines at the 78th statewide percentile and 4 stars for 2025–2026, down 12 percentile points from the prior year. Its 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 79%, seventh-highest among 11 nearby schools; its student–teacher ratio was 13.9, around the middle of the nearby range. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notable contrast: Haines ranks at the 96th percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students, but at the 20th percentile for Asian Students, compared with its overall 78th-percentile rank.
