Summary

Hurley Elementary School is a Chicago school serving pre-K through grade 8, with 748 students. Its clearest strength is English Language Arts (ELA): in 2025–2026, 58% of students were proficient, compared with 56% statewide and 46% in Chicago Public Schools District 299. Hurley also had the highest all-grade ELA result among the nine nearby K–8 schools with comparable results. The most important takeaway is that ELA proficiency is a standout both locally and against state and district results.

Hurley’s math results are strong among nearby schools, but still trail the state: 36% were proficient in 2025–2026, putting Hurley second among nearby K–8 schools behind Lee Elementary School at 40%; the state result was 40% and the district’s was 29%. Results vary by grade: Hurley’s grade 7 and 8 ELA proficiency was 70% and 78%, respectively, above the state in both grades, while grade 3 ELA was 37%, 11 points below the state. Grade 3 and grade 6 math also lagged state results. Science was below the state in both tested grades: 36% in grade 5 and 50% in grade 8. Chronic absenteeism was 33%, below the district’s 39% but above the state’s 24%.

Both ELA and math have improved substantially: since 2023–2024, ELA proficiency rose 26 points, from 32% to 58%, and math rose 20 points, from 15% to 36%. SchoolDigger gives Hurley 2 stars and places it at the 33rd statewide percentile for 2025–2026—the highest among the nearby schools provided, just ahead of Lee at 32. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings suggest stronger relative results for Hispanic students and English Language Learner students, both at the 53rd percentile, than Hurley’s overall ranking; Female Students ranked at the 17th percentile. In 2024–2025, 90% of Hurley students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 92%. The student-teacher ratio was 14.2, close to the nearby average of 14.5.
