Summary

Hoyne Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 249 students enrolled. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 698 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hoyne Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic proficiency, with only 47% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 28.4% in Mathematics, compared to the district and state averages. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years. Nearby schools, such as Black Magnet Elementary School and Earhart Elementary Opt for Knowl School, generally outperform Hoyne Elementary in academic proficiency and other key metrics.

The high percentage of low socioeconomic status students at Hoyne Elementary School (over 75% in recent years) likely contributes to the school's lower academic performance. However, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement, as the school's African American students have performed relatively well, indicating the school may have the capacity to support student learning if the right strategies and resources are in place. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could also be a key strategy for improving student outcomes at Hoyne Elementary School.
