Summary

South Loop Elementary School is a PK–8 school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 847 students in Chicago Public Schools District 299. Its clearest distinction is exceptionally strong English Language Arts (ELA): in 2025–2026, 84% of students were proficient, the highest result among 10 nearby schools, compared with 56% statewide and 46% districtwide.

South Loop is also strong in math, but it is not the top nearby school in that subject. Its 63% proficiency was 24 percentage points above the state, 34 above the district, and 21 above the nearby-school average; it ranked third among nine schools with reported scores, behind Haines Elementary School and Sheridan Elementary Math & Science Academy. A notable exception is 6th-grade math: South Loop’s 43% was only 6 points above the state and below four nearby schools, including Haines and Sheridan. Science is another bright spot: 5th-grade proficiency was 73%, the highest among nearby schools with reported scores, while 8th-grade science was 72%, second among nine.

Results have risen over the past three reported years: ELA proficiency increased from 61% in 2023–2024 to 84% in 2025–2026, and math rose from 50% to 63%. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 87th statewide percentile with four stars in 2025–2026, up from the 85th percentile in 2023–2024. Its student-teacher ratio was 16.6 in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby schools and above their 12.7 average. The school’s free/reduced lunch eligible share was 28% in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 72%; this is context about the school population, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves English Language Learner Students rose to the 95th percentile in 2024–2025 from the 39th percentile the year before. Its Special Education Students ranking was at the 65th percentile in 2025–2026, below the school’s overall 87th percentile.

Average at best! Overcrowded and cramped. Class sizes are enormous!! 35 students in my son Kindergarten class and 42, yes 42 in my daughters 5th grade class. Both classes with no extra teacher. Close Quote
