Summary

Sayre Elementary Language Academy is a public elementary school in Chicago, Illinois, serving around 400 students in grades PK-8. 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.

Sayre Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 1056 and 1540 and a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles across a range of key metrics, including high chronic absenteeism rates (25.4% to 40.8%), significantly below-average academic performance on the IAR exams (only 37.3% proficient in ELA and 25.8% in Math), and very low subgroup performance compared to state averages. Additionally, Sayre has a high percentage of students (60-66%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

When comparing Sayre Elementary to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Acero Charter Roberto Clemente Elementary, Lovett Elementary, and Burbank Elementary, Sayre performs significantly worse on academic measures. This stark contrast is even more evident when looking at schools in higher-performing districts, such as Oak Park Education Service District 97 and River Forest School District 90, where schools like Horace Mann Elementary and Willard Elementary rank in the top 5% of Illinois elementary schools.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, March 8, 2018

Some of the underclass teachers are absolutely wonderful. They care about the progress of their students and go above and beyond for them. Having said that, it appears that the "New" Principal has it in her agenda to turn this into an "alternative school for disturbed youth". Why do I say this? My HONOR ROLL STUDENT was not only stabbed with a pencil , but has been tormented by the behavior of a student (this entire year) that should have been gone years ago. What does the principal do? Sends the problem child to a "fun class" for a little bit and leaves her to torture the teachers on a daily basis and disrupt the lessons they are trying to teach. I am all for having children in my childs class that may have a learning disability or other issues, but the child I am referring to has a BEHAVIOR ISSUE and literally is surrounded by people who do not care to discipline her . I STRONGLY encourage everyone who is thinking about putting their child in this school to LIE and get their kids in another district if they can. It is not worth your childs education to have them in a place where the admin wont do a thing to ensure the safety and promote the education of your child. Close Quote
