SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,737 Illinois Elementary Schools

Better than 25% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

CICS - Irving Park Campus is a 453-student K–8 school in Chicago, part of Chicago Public Schools District 299. Its results are mixed: English language arts (ELA) is relatively strong, and 8th-grade science stands out, but mathematics is the clearest concern. In 2025–2026, 25% of students were proficient in math, compared with 40% statewide.

ELA is ahead of the district but still below the state: 49% were proficient, versus 46% in the district and 56% statewide. The school’s ELA rate was also 5 points above the nearby K–8 schools’ average. Math proficiency was 4 points below the district and 15 below the state, though it was essentially in line with nearby K–8 schools’ average. By contrast, 8th-grade science is a bright spot: 54% were proficient, 13 points above the district and 2 above the state, ranking third among nearby schools with reported results. Attendance is another positive: chronic absenteeism was 19%, below the state’s 24% and the district’s 39%.

Results have changed in different directions: ELA rose from 36% in 2023–2024 to 51% in 2024–2025, then eased to 49%; math climbed from 22% to 33%, then fell to 25%, widening its state gap to 15 points. Chronic absenteeism improved from 41% to 19% over the same four-year period. Meanwhile, SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking fell from the 45th percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025 to the 25th percentile, 1 star and rank 1,304 of 1,737 in 2025–2026. For context, 68% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, close to the nearby-school average, and the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 13.3. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a notable contrast: its measure of how well the school serves disabled students was at the 85th percentile in 2024–2025, versus the overall 45th; for male students, it fell from the 48th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 15th in 2025–2026, below the school’s overall 25th percentile.
