Summary

Kenwood Academy High School in Chicago serves grades 7–12 and enrolls 2,268 students, making it much larger than the 10 nearby high schools in the supplied data, which enroll 74–838 students each. Its clearest strength is academic performance: 2025–2026 proficiency was well above state and district results. The most important counterpoint is that chronic absenteeism remains high: 42% of students were chronically absent, compared with 24% statewide.

Kenwood outperformed the state and Chicago Public Schools District 299 on all-grades IAR results in 2025–2026. ELA proficiency was 85%, versus 56% statewide and 46% in the district; math was 71%, versus 40% and 29%. It also scored higher than nearby Univ of Chicago Charter-Woodlawn, which reported 46% in ELA and 14% in math. Attendance is a relative weakness against the state, though Kenwood’s absenteeism improved from 48% the prior year. Graduation was close to the state rate at 90%, compared with 90% statewide and 83% districtwide.

Test results have risen since 2023–2024: all-grades IAR ELA increased from 68% to 85%, and math from 50% to 71%. SchoolDigger ranked Kenwood at the 76th statewide percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 81st percentile the year before. Its student-teacher ratio was 17.4 in 2024–2025. That year, 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the 68%–97% range among nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings also show notable variation: White students ranked at the 97th percentile in 2025–2026, while the multi-racial student ranking fell from the 96th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 62nd in 2025–2026.
