Summary

Montessori of Englewood Charter Elementary School is a public charter school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 334 students in grades PK-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.

Despite being a Montessori school, Montessori of Englewood consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Illinois, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of Illinois elementary schools in their respective categories. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.5% to 40.1% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Wentworth Elementary, Providence-Englewood Elementary Charter, and OToole Elementary schools generally perform better than Montessori of Englewood on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the Montessori approach may not be effectively implemented or meeting the unique needs of the student population at Montessori of Englewood.
