Summary:

Washington G Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 639 students in grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois. It is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington G Elementary School outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, with 48.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. The school also performs particularly well for its Hispanic student population, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools for this subgroup in English Language Arts and the top 35% in mathematics. However, the school's performance for disabled students is in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools, an area that may require additional support and resources.

While Washington G Elementary School's overall ranking has fluctuated over the past decade, it appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the district, especially compared to several nearby lower-performing schools like Burnham Elementary Inclusive Academy, Mireles Elementary Academy, and Sadlowski Elementary School. However, the school has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.3% in 2019-2020 to 29.1% in 2023-2024, which may be an area of concern.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
