Summary

Claremont Academy Elementary School is a public elementary school in Chicago, Illinois, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 327 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.

Claremont Academy Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Illinois elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years and a 0-star rating in the last two school years. The school significantly underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with particularly low performance in 4th and 8th grade Mathematics. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Fairfield Elementary Academy, Morrill Elementary Math & Sci School, and Marquette Elementary School, also struggle academically, with similar low proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. However, some of these nearby schools, like Marquette Elementary School, perform slightly better than Claremont Academy Elementary School in certain grade levels and subject areas. Despite the higher per-student spending at Claremont Academy Elementary School, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the low student outcomes.
