Summary

Peck Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Chicago Public Schools District 299, with 758 students located in the Gage Park neighborhood of Chicago. Despite increased funding and smaller class sizes, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic proficiency, with only 37.1% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 26.2% proficient in Math.

Peck Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.4% to 40.1% in recent years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. The school also struggles across various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools for female students, male students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities. Interestingly, nearby schools in the same district, such as Sandoval Elementary, Monarcas Academy, and Pasteur Elementary, have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism.

While Peck Elementary has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $13,155 in 2020-2021 to $18,608 in 2023-2024, and a decrease in its student-teacher ratio, these changes have not translated into improved academic performance. In contrast, the nearby Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz school, which is also part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, stands out as a high-performing school, with 78.3% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 63.5% proficient or better in Math.
