Summary:
The Chicago Park Elementary District in California is home to two elementary schools: Chicago Park Elementary and Chicago Park Community Charter. While both schools serve students in the same district, they exhibit notable differences in their academic performance and overall profiles.
Chicago Park Community Charter stands out as a high-performing school, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (65%) and Mathematics (45%) compared to Chicago Park Elementary (44.62% and 38.46%, respectively). This represents a marked improvement for the charter school, which had lower proficiency rates than the traditional public school in the previous year.
In contrast, Chicago Park Elementary has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, dropping from 1,487 out of 5,883 California elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 3,420 out of 5,874 in 2022-2023, before rebounding to 2,804 out of 5,862 for the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the traditional public school has higher rates of chronic absenteeism (42.7%) and free/reduced lunch recipients (56.2%) compared to the charter school, which may be contributing factors to its academic performance.
