Summary

Sadlowski Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with an enrollment of 659 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.

Sadlowski Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.1% of Sadlowski students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, only 18.7% of Sadlowski students were proficient or better, compared to 27.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While the nearby schools, such as Burnham Elementary Inclusive Academy, Marsh Elementary School, and Bright Elementary School, also struggle academically, there is a stark contrast with Addams Elementary School, which is located just 0.51 miles from Sadlowski and has significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Sadlowski to learn from and emulate the practices and strategies that have led to Addams' stronger academic outcomes.
