FARADAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Faraday 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 280 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 14 teachers, Faraday Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. 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.

Faraday Elementary School, located at 3250 W. Monroe St. in the East Garfield Park neighborhood of Chicago, serves students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade as part of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district. The school is situated in a historically significant area of the city and functions as a neighborhood anchor, striving to provide a foundational education to a diverse student body. Like many schools in the CPS system, Faraday focuses on academic growth and social-emotional development, aiming to prepare its students for the transition to high school within the broader city educational landscape.

Academically, Faraday Elementary offers a standard CPS curriculum that emphasizes literacy and mathematics, often supplemented by efforts to integrate technology and enrichment activities. The school environment typically emphasizes community engagement and support systems to address the unique needs of families in the West Side area. By providing both instructional programming and extracurricular opportunities, Faraday works to foster a supportive learning climate that encourages student attendance, grade-level promotion, and long-term academic success.
