Summary

Hurley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 711 students in grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 698 out of 811 districts in the state.

Hurley Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Hurley's overall proficiency rate in English Language Arts was 51.1%, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, Hurley's proficiency rate was 27.8%, compared to 27.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While Hurley Elementary School's performance is lower than nearby schools like Stevenson Elementary School, Tarkington Elementary School, and Eberhart Elementary School, which have higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism, the school's performance is still better than some more distant schools in the district. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds may be contributing factors to the lower academic performance. However, the school's relatively strong performance for Hispanic students and English Language Learners suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right interventions and strategies.
