Rutledge Hall consistently ranks in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools, with strong academic performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, 68.4% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 46.5% were proficient or better in Math, outperforming the state averages.

Rutledge Hall also maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 10.7 and spends significantly more per student ($23,012) compared to the state average, indicating a strong investment in resources.

While Rutledge Hall's overall performance is excellent, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 20.8% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025. This is an area the school and district should address. Nearby schools, such as Elizabeth Meyer School and John Middleton Elementary School in the Skokie School District 73-5, also perform well academically, ranking in the top 25-30% of Illinois elementary schools. In contrast, schools within the Chicago Public Schools District 299, such as Rogers Elementary School and West Ridge Elementary School, have lower academic performance and higher rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating socioeconomic challenges.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, November 26, 2011

Bullying at all levels present, and passive approach by school administration. Teachers are mostly union, not motivated to do anything extra. Parents are threatened and children mistreated if any problem is put forward. Their curriculum is not even put up on website. At the much advertised coffee with principal, I was shocked to hear this principal respond to one of the parents about chess, said she had no idea and never heard of it as anything useful for child's development. You can go on with the amount of such ignorance and arrogance they display.They practise secrecy in choosing and selecting kids for their advanced placements.They rely on the teacher input heavily even though they deny it instead of objective assessments. My son was not even offered their cogAT testing in Todd Hall and was not recognized until in 3rd grade and soon he was placed in the Gifted program as well as Advanced Reading and Accelerated Math for 4th grade. But because we are hispanics, the gifted program teacher Ms Ellis, was after him asking him to be placed on medications etc. Never had problem with attention deficit before. So after a year I asked them to pull out my son from gifted program because of the teacher. It seems like it is a mafia there with all these tenured or union teachers along with principal and administration. Extremely disappointed and disillusioned under current administration!!!
