Summary

Park Manor Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Chicago Public Schools District 299. The school has 257 students and is located in the South Side of Chicago. Despite its significant per-student spending, Park Manor Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Park Manor Elementary School over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, well below-average academic performance in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, and struggles to effectively serve its subgroups. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 27% of Park Manor Elementary School students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Math, only 6.8% of Park Manor Elementary School students were proficient, compared to 27.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state.

While the nearby schools in the same district, such as Revere Elementary School, Brownell Elementary School, and Till Elementary Math & Science Academy, also struggle academically, they generally outperform Park Manor Elementary School across key metrics. The significant per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio at Park Manor Elementary School suggest that resource allocation alone is not the primary driver of the school's underperformance, and that targeted interventions and support systems may be needed to address the root causes of the school's challenges.

Great school I volunteer there am on the LSC and I have experienced excellent service there. My children graduated valedictorian two years in a row and they tested off the charts, they now attend Kenwood Academy and they are both in the top of their class. I now teach with the 530 scholars, Great school, give them a try! Close Quote
