Summary

Acero Charter School Network Victoria Soto Campus is a Chicago high school in Chicago Public Schools District 299, serving 561 students in grades 9–12 in a neighborhood with several nearby high schools. Its 2025–26 results show an important contrast: graduation is high, but test proficiency is below district and state rates in every subject and grade with a reported score.

The school’s clearest academic strength relative to its own results is 11th-grade ACT science: 29% met proficiency, the smallest gap to the district (37%) and state (48%). Its weakest nearby comparison is 10th-grade PreACT English language arts: 18% met proficiency, the lowest among eight nearby schools with results, versus 42% districtwide and 54% statewide. It also ranked lowest among nearby schools on 9th-grade PreACT math. Graduation is a bright spot: the reported rate was 95.7%, the highest among nearby schools with rates and above the district’s 83% and the state’s 90%. But chronic absenteeism was 50%, compared with 39% districtwide and 24% statewide. The 10th-grade PreACT math score is not reported, so it cannot be compared.

Results are changing unevenly. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, 11th-grade ACT English rose from 15% to 22%, and math from 4% to 15%; 9th-grade PreACT English also rose, while 10th-grade English fell from 31% to 18%. Graduation rebounded from 90% to 96% in the latest year, and chronic absenteeism fell from 62% in 2021–22 to 50%. SchoolDigger gives the school 1 star and ranks it at the 11th statewide percentile in 2025–26, down from the 13th percentile the prior year. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 13.3, below the nearby-school average of 15.7. The school’s 2024–25 low-income measure is all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility). SchoolDigger’s ranking for English Language Learner Students was at the 29th percentile in 2025–26, above the school’s overall 11th percentile, suggesting a relative strength in how it serves this group. Its ranking for Disabled Students fell from the 39th percentile in 2023–24 to the 7th in 2024–25, a sharp decline in relative standing.
