Summary

Chicago Math & Sci Elementary Charter is a Chicago public charter serving grades 6–12, with 623 students. Its academic results differ by subject and grade: middle-school ELA is close to the state rate, while math is much lower; 11th-grade ACT math is a relative bright spot. In 2025–2026, all-grades IAR math proficiency was 22%, 18 points below the state and 7 points below the district. Ninth- and 10th-grade PreACT math results were also below state and district rates, making mathematics before 11th grade the clearest academic concern.

ELA is stronger than math, especially in middle school: all-grades IAR ELA proficiency was 53%, 4 points below the state and 7 above the Chicago Public Schools District 299. Grade 7 was particularly competitive, at 55%, just 2 points below the state. By 11th grade, ACT math reached 45%, 6 points above the state and 17 above the district, though it was fifth-highest among eight schools with local results and near their 44% average. ACT ELA was 45%, below the state but above the district and near the local middle. Science is a weaker comparison: ACT science was 37%, 11 points below the state and about level with the district; nearby schools averaged 51%.

Recent IAR results improved, but SchoolDigger’s overall standing fell: ELA rose from 31% in 2024–2025 to 53% in 2025–2026, and math from 14% to 22%, while the SchoolDigger percentile declined from 49 to 32. SchoolDigger ranked the school 423rd of 620 schools and gave it 2 stars in 2025–2026. Its free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 88% in 2024–2025, and its student-teacher ratio was 14.1, near the middle of nearby schools’ 11.6–15.5 range. SchoolDigger’s statewide group rankings show notable relative strengths for English Language Learner Students (84th percentile) and African American Students (82nd percentile), compared with 32nd overall. Other indicators are more favorable: chronic absenteeism was 22% versus 24% statewide and 39% districtwide, and graduation was 91% versus 90% statewide and 83% districtwide.
