Summary

Warren Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 278 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. Warren Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 1159 and 1790 out of over 2,000 schools.

Warren Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 35.2% of Warren students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, only 10.4% of Warren students were proficient or better, 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 40.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While Warren Elementary School has consistently underperformed, its performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, suggests that the school has the potential to improve if the right strategies and resources are implemented. The school is located in close proximity to several other elementary schools, such as Black Magnet Elementary School, Earhart Elementary Opt for Knowl School, and CICS - Avalon/South Shore, that are outperforming it in both academic proficiency and chronic absenteeism. Addressing the broader challenges facing the Chicago Public Schools District 299 will be crucial for improving outcomes at schools like Warren Elementary.
