Summary

Chicago Math & Sci Elementary Charter is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Chicago, Illinois, with 620 students enrolled. 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.

The school has had a mixed performance on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in ELA and Math lower than the district and state averages in 2024-2025. However, the school has shown stronger performance in certain student subgroups, such as ranking 30th out of 323 Illinois high schools for African American students in ELA and 7th out of 248 for English Language Learners in Math. The school's four-year graduation rate has been relatively strong, ranging from 82.5% to 89.0% in recent years, and its dropout rate has been relatively low, ranging from 2.3% to 4.0%. Unfortunately, the school has had higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state, ranging from 24.0% to 40.8% in recent years.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Northside College Preparatory High School, Devry Advantage Academy High School, and Evanston Township High School, Chicago Math & Sci Elementary Charter generally performs below these schools in terms of overall academic achievement and college readiness metrics. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that it may have access to more resources and funding compared to the district average, which could contribute to its performance in certain areas, but it still lags behind many of the top-performing schools in the area.
