Summary

KIPP Chicago Charters - Bloom Campus is a K–8 school in Chicago’s Chicago Public Schools District 299, serving 921 students in an area with several nearby elementary schools. In 2025–2026, Bloom’s proficiency was 30% in English Language Arts (ELA) and 15% in math, both below district results of 46% and 29% and state results of 56% and 40%. The most important takeaway is that proficiency in both subjects remains substantially below district and state levels.

Compared with nearby schools, Bloom’s math result is close to the local average, while its ELA result is lower: Bloom scored 4 points below the nearby ELA average, but was about even with the nearby math average. Fifth-grade ELA stands out as a weakness at 23%; reported results at Nicholson Technology Academy, Libby and Beasley were higher. Science also varies by grade: eighth-grade proficiency was 37%, closer to the district’s 41%, while fifth-grade proficiency was 17%, compared with 35% districtwide and 48% statewide.

Bloom’s scores have improved since 2023–2024, but not as quickly as the state’s: ELA rose by 11 points and math by 6 points, while the gaps with the state widened by 4 and 6 points, respectively. Chronic absenteeism improved to 28% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 39% but above the state’s 24%. SchoolDigger places Bloom at the 7th percentile statewide, with 0 stars; its ranking for African American Students fell to the 15th percentile in 2025–2026, 45 points below its 2024–2025 ranking, while the Homeless Students ranking was at the 32nd percentile. Bloom reports that 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with an 86% average among nearby schools with the same measure. Its student-teacher ratio was 115.1 in 2024–2025, far above the nearby range of 7.8–17.4; the abrupt change from prior years makes the figure worth verifying, and grade 3 ELA is suppressed.
