Better than 7% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

Oglesby Elementary School is a public school in Chicago, Illinois, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 270 students. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Oglesby Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating.

Oglesby Elementary School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 24.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 8.4% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the district and state averages. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 46.9% over the past few years. Additionally, Oglesby serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 96.3% to 98.11% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the nearby schools in the same district, such as Westcott Elementary, Harvard Elementary, and King Academy of Social Justice, also struggle academically, some schools in the area, like Lenart Elementary Regional Gifted Center, perform significantly better. This suggests that the challenges faced by Oglesby Elementary School are not unique to the school itself but are systemic issues within the district.
