Summary

LEARN Charter - Hunter Perkins Camp is a public charter elementary school serving 467 students in grades K-8 in Chicago, Illinois. Despite serving a predominantly low-income and minority student population, the school consistently outperforms the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and the state of Illinois in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels.

In the 2024-2025 school year, 49.3% of LEARN Charter - Hunter Perkins Camp students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. The school's African American student population also performs exceptionally well, ranking in the top 128 out of 688 Illinois elementary schools for this subgroup. Additionally, while the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, these are still lower than the district average, a notable accomplishment given the challenges faced by the student population.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Cuffe Math-Sci Technical Elementary Academy, Barton Elementary School, and Fort Dearborn Elementary School, LEARN Charter - Hunter Perkins Camp generally outperforms them in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, particularly for its African American student population. This suggests that the school's educational model and practices may be more effective in supporting the academic growth of its students.
