Summary

CICS - Washington Pk Campus is a K–8 school with 493 students in Chicago, part of Chicago Public Schools District 299. Its latest reported results show that, although proficiency is below state averages, the school stands out among nearby schools: it had the highest math proficiency and the third-highest ELA proficiency among 11 schools with reported scores.

Math is the school’s strongest subject locally, while science is its clearest academic weakness. In 2025–2026, 28% of students were proficient in math, about 1 point below the district and 11 points below the state; nearby schools averaged 14%, putting CICS first among the 11 with results. ELA proficiency was 44%, 2 points below the district and 13 below the state, but 17 points above the nearby-school average of 27%. Grade-level results vary: grade 7 ELA was 58%, above both district and state results, while grade 3 math reached 55%, also above both. Grade 5 science was 20%, 15 points below the district and 28 below the state, and 11 points below Beasley Elementary Magnet Academic Center.

Results have improved over the longer term, but the latest ELA result fell from its 2024–2025 high. ELA rose from 23% in 2023–2024 to 53% the next year, then declined to 44%; math increased from 12% to 28% and has stayed nearly level. SchoolDigger rated CICS at the 20th statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, down from the 44th percentile and 2 stars the year before. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 27.3, the highest among nearby schools reporting a ratio, and 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the second-highest share among nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s African American Students ranking fell from the 83rd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 35th in 2025–2026, while the overall ranking fell from the 44th to the 20th percentile; these are rankings from different school years, not the same students tracked over time.
