KIPP Chicago Chrtrs Bloom Campus

Summary:

KIPP Chicago Chrtrs Bloom Campus is an elementary public charter school serving 851 students in grades K-8 in Chicago, Illinois, which is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299.

While KIPP Chicago Chrtrs Bloom Campus is part of the Chicago Public Schools system, the district is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school itself consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools, with proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.8% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 30.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state, and only 9.2% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 18.3% for the district and 28.4% for the state.

The nearby schools, such as Sherwood Elementary School, Sherman Elementary School, and Nicholson Technical Academy Elementary School, also struggle academically, with low proficiency rates and rankings similar to KIPP Chicago Chrtrs Bloom Campus. However, some schools, like Beasley Elementary Magnet Academic Center, perform significantly better, with higher proficiency rates and rankings in the top 50% of Illinois elementary schools. The high chronic absenteeism rates at KIPP Chicago Chrtrs Bloom Campus and the nearby schools suggest that attendance and engagement are significant challenges in this area, which may be exacerbated by the high-poverty student populations they serve.

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.
