This diverse educational landscape serves the local community, with a mix of traditional public schools and public charter schools. While the schools in this area face some common challenges, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism, the data reveals stark disparities in academic performance, with a few standout schools shining brightly.

Among the high schools, Intrinsic Charter High School stands out with an impressive 95% four-year graduation rate and significantly lower dropout rate compared to the district and state averages. However, other high schools, such as Schurz High School and Foreman High School, face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which likely contribute to their lower academic performance. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the disparities in educational outcomes within the Chicago Public Schools District 299.
