Summary

Reavis Elementary Math & Sci Special School is a public elementary school in Chicago, Illinois that serves grades PK-8 with 273 students. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 698 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Reavis Elementary consistently performs significantly below the district and state averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.3% of Reavis students were proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Math, the proficiency rate was just 7.1% compared to 27.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 47.2% over the past few years, much higher than the district and state averages. Despite spending significantly more per student ($23,050 in 2023-2024) than the district average, Reavis Elementary is struggling to effectively educate its students.

When comparing Reavis Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, it is clear that Reavis is one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. Schools like Shoesmith Elementary, Ariel Elementary Community Academy, and Kozminski Elementary Community Academy all significantly outperform Reavis on academic measures. Significant interventions and support will be needed to improve Reavis Elementary's performance and provide its students with a high-quality education.
