Morrill Elementary Math & Sci School

Public Grades PK, KG-8
Summary

Morrill Elementary Math & Sci School serves 600 students in PK–8 in Chicago, in Chicago Public Schools District 299. Its 2025–2026 results were below district and state rates in every reported area: ELA proficiency was 27%, compared with 46% districtwide and 56% statewide; math was 10%, compared with 29% and 40%; and eighth-grade science was 28%, compared with 41% and 52%. Mathematics is the clearest academic concern: the result was 19 percentage points below the district and 30 below the state, and ranked near the bottom among nearby schools.

ELA is stronger than math, but Morrill still trails nearby schools and larger comparison groups: its all-grades ELA proficiency was 10 points below the nearby average of 37%, while its math result was 11 points below the nearby average of 21%. Morrill ranked second-lowest among 11 nearby schools in ELA and tied for second-lowest in math. Eighth grade was the strongest reported grade for ELA, at 46%, but that result remained 17 points below the state rate and was second-lowest among nearby schools with a reported score. Attendance is another significant concern: chronic absenteeism reached 50% in 2025–2026, 12 points above the district and 27 above the state, and 19 points above the nearby average.

Results have fluctuated, and recent declines have widened the state gap: ELA rose from 15% in 2023–2024 to 31% the following year, then fell to 27%; math went from 7% to 16%, then fell to 10%. SchoolDigger placed Morrill at the 10th percentile with one star in 2024–2025, below the nearby-school average of the 24th percentile. Its student-teacher ratio was 14.6 in 2024–2025, versus a nearby average of 13.5. Also that year, 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-highest rate among eight comparable nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a notably stronger relative standing for English Language Learner Students (34th percentile, compared with 10th overall), and a sharp drop for Special Education Students (3rd percentile, down from 31st the year before).
