Ashburn Community Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-8

Summary

Ashburn Community Elementary School serves 324 students from pre-K through 8th grade in Chicago. Its results vary by subject and grade: 8th-grade ELA and science stand out, while the all-grade results are much weaker, especially in math. The clearest concern is math: 12% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, 17 percentage points below the district and 27 below the state.

Compared with seven nearby Chicago Public Schools serving the same grade span, Ashburn was 3 points below their average in all-grade ELA (39% versus 42%) and 5 points below their average in math (12% versus 18%); it ranked third-lowest of the eight schools in both subjects. Its stronger results are concentrated in upper grades: 6th-grade ELA proficiency was 55%, the highest among nearby same-district schools with reported results, and 8th-grade ELA was 65%, 10 points above the district and 2 above the state. Eighth-grade science was 50%, 9 points above the district and 2 below the state. Overall, ELA is stronger than math, but both all-grade results trail the district and state.

ELA proficiency rose from 33% in 2023–2024 to 39% in 2025–2026, but its gap with the state widened from 8 to 17 points; math remained nearly flat at 12%, 11% and 12% over those years, while its state gap widened from 17 to 27 points. SchoolDigger’s latest ranking, for 2024–2025, placed Ashburn at the 15th percentile with 1 star; it tied Hampton Elementary Fine & Perf Arts School and ranked above only CICS - Wrightwood among nearby schools with rankings for that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for African American students was notably higher than its overall ranking: the group ranked at the 47th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with 15th overall, though its ranking had fallen 29 points from the previous year. Other context: the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 12.4, below the 14.1 average among same-district peers, and 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Some grade-level results are suppressed, and nearby schools do not all serve the same grade spans.
