Summary

Morrill Elementary Math & Sci School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 504 students enrolled. 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.

Morrill Elementary consistently performs below the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and Illinois state averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 30.8% of Morrill students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In math, only 15.7% of Morrill students were proficient, compared to 27.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 42.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Morrill Elementary is surrounded by several other low-performing elementary schools in the Chicago Public Schools District 299, such as Claremont Academy Elementary School, Earle Elementary School, and Fairfield Elementary Academy, which also struggle with low academic achievement and high chronic absenteeism. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Morrill Elementary, the school's academic outcomes remain well below the district and state averages, raising questions about the effective use of resources and the need for more targeted interventions and support to improve student learning.
