BASS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Bass Elem School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Chicago Public Schools Dist 299 school district, located in Chicago, IL with about 446 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 24 teachers, Bass Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Bass Elementary School, located at 1140 W 66th St in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago, serves as a neighborhood public school within the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district. Historically rooted in its local community, the school provides educational services for students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The facility is designed to serve the families of the surrounding residential area, acting as a central hub for academic development and extracurricular programming in the Englewood community.

As part of the CPS network, Bass Elementary follows the district’s standardized curriculum while working to meet the specific social and academic needs of its student population. The school emphasizes foundational skills in literacy and mathematics, while often participating in various district-led initiatives aimed at school improvement and student enrichment. Families looking for detailed information on enrollment, current performance ratings, or specific school programs are encouraged to visit the official Chicago Public Schools website or contact the school’s main office directly, as district policies and school-specific offerings can evolve annually.
