Summary

Catalyst Charter - Maria Elementary School is a public charter school located in Chicago, Illinois, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 1,102 students. 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.

Catalyst Charter - Maria Elementary School faces significant challenges in improving the academic outcomes of its students, who come from a highly disadvantaged background. The school's performance on key metrics, such as test scores, graduation rates, and dropout rates, is consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 36.2% of students were proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts, compared to 53.1% statewide, and only 25.9% were proficient or better in IAR/Mathematics, compared to 38.5% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 80.9% and 91.2% in recent years, which is generally lower than the state average of around 85%, and its dropout rate has ranged from 2.4% to 4.0%, higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby charter schools, such as Acero Charter Sor Juana Ines de la, CICS - Longwood Campus, and Horizon Sci Academy - Southwest Charter, Catalyst Charter - Maria Elementary School generally performs worse on key metrics. The school's very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.7% to 96.64% in recent years, coupled with its low academic performance, suggests that the school is serving a highly disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the challenges it faces. Despite these challenges, the school's spending per student has increased significantly in recent years, from $7,331 in 2020-2021 to $20,210 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average.
