Summary

Erie Elementary Charter School is a public charter school located in Chicago, Illinois, serving 384 students in grades K-8. 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.

Erie Elementary Charter School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time period. The school significantly underperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, with only 19.3% and 9.4% of students, respectively, meeting or exceeding standards in the 2024-2025 school year. Erie's performance is particularly low in the upper grades, with proficiency rates often below 10% in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade ELA and Mathematics.

Nearby schools, such as Sabin Elementary Magnet School, Yates Elementary School, and Chase Elementary School, generally outperform Erie Elementary Charter School in academic achievement, student subgroup performance, and other key metrics. For example, Chase Elementary School, less than a mile away, ranks in the top 5% of Illinois elementary schools and significantly outperforms Erie in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. The high chronic absenteeism rates and limited resources at Erie Elementary Charter School suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in supporting its diverse student population and providing a high-quality education.
