Summary

Washington G Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 617 students in grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois. 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.

Washington G Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with a 61.7% proficiency rate compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's mathematics performance, while better than the district, lags behind the state average. The school also performs above the district but below the state in science. Notably, the school has strong performance among its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student populations, ranking in the top 25% and top 20% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. Unfortunately, the school's performance for students with disabilities is significantly lower, ranking in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools.

One area of concern for Washington G Elementary School is its persistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school has also seen an increase in per-student spending, from $12,437 in the 2020-2021 school year to $17,131 in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a focus on resource allocation, though the student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable. Overall, Washington G Elementary School demonstrates a solid academic foundation, particularly in ELA, but faces challenges in addressing chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students.
