McAuliffe Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-8

Summary

McAuliffe Elementary School serves 523 students in pre-K through grade 8 in Chicago. In 2025–2026, 22% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 12% in math, well below both Chicago Public Schools District 299 and state results. The most important finding is that McAuliffe’s performance in both core subjects is low compared with district and state benchmarks and most nearby schools.

Among 10 nearby schools, McAuliffe had the second-lowest all-grades ELA result and the third-lowest math result: nearby averages were 35% in ELA and 19% in math. Its scores were 24 and 35 percentage points below district and state ELA results, and 18 and 28 points below district and state math results. Grade 5 science is a relative bright spot locally: McAuliffe’s 31% matched the nearby-school average, though it was 4 points below the district and 17 below the state. Grade 8 science was less competitive, trailing four of the five nearby schools with results.

Scores have improved overall since 2023–2024, but not enough to close the gap: ELA rose by 5 percentage points and math by 6, while the state gaps widened to 35 points in ELA and 28 in math. SchoolDigger ranked McAuliffe at the 10th percentile statewide and gave it 1 star in 2024–2025. Its student-teacher ratio was 12.0 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 11.8. The school reported that 66% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a 93% nearby-school average; this is context, not an explanation for test results. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students fell from the 20th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 5th in 2024–2025, and its ranking for Special Education Students fell from the 31st to the 13th percentile, sharper declines than the school’s overall ranking.
