Summary

Kelvyn Park High School is a public high school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 525 students in grades 7-12. 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.

Kelvyn Park High School faces significant challenges, consistently performing well below the district and state averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 9% of Kelvyn Park students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 1.3%, compared to 27.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 74.1%, significantly higher than the district average of 40.1% and the state average. However, the school's four-year graduation rate of 89.0% is slightly above the district average of 82.5%, though still below the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as ASPIRA Charter - Early College Pr, Intrinsic Charter High School, and Noble St Charter-Pritzker Col Prep, generally perform better than Kelvyn Park High School on academic measures, graduation rates, and other key metrics. This suggests that the challenges faced by Kelvyn Park High School may be specific to the school itself, rather than the broader district or geographic area.
