Pasteur Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 619 students in grades PK-4 in Chicago, Illinois, which is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299. This school has consistently outperformed the district and state in academic proficiency, with 56.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 60.3% proficient in Mathematics, significantly exceeding the district and state averages.

Pasteur Elementary School's performance is particularly strong in 3rd grade, where 58.9% of students are proficient in ELA and 69% are proficient in Mathematics, placing the school in the top 5% of Illinois elementary schools for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This suggests the school is effectively addressing the needs of these historically underserved populations. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 40.1%, indicate there may be challenges in ensuring consistent student attendance.
