Summary

New Field Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 576 students in grades PK-4 in Chicago, Illinois, which is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299. The school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic proficiency, with only 35.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, versus 42.8% and 53.1% for the district and state, respectively.

New Field Elementary School also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.2% to 40.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, all of which rank in the bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools. Despite spending significantly more per student ($19,990 in 2023-2024) than the district average, the school's academic outcomes do not reflect this higher investment.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Armstrong G Elementary International Studies, Jordan Elementary Community School, and Hayt Elementary School, which are also part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, generally outperform New Field Elementary School in academic proficiency. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources may be contributing to the school's underperformance.
