Summary

Jungman Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 290 students enrolled. The school faces significant challenges, as it has consistently underperformed compared to the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and the state of Illinois in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency.

Jungman Elementary School has had high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. While the school has shown some strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, other subgroups, like male students and low socioeconomic status students, have consistently underperformed compared to their peers statewide. The school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $26,713 to $28,725 over the past few years, suggests that funding alone may not be the primary driver of academic success.

When comparing Jungman Elementary School to the nearby schools in the same district, such as Pilsen Elementary Community Academy, Acero Charter - Bartolome de las, and Cooper Elementary Dual Language Academy, it becomes evident that Jungman is not an outlier in terms of performance. Many of the surrounding schools also struggle with low student proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism, suggesting that a more comprehensive, district-wide approach may be necessary to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for all students.
