HENDRICKS ELEM COMMUNITY ACADEMY

Hendricks Elem Community Academy 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 241 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 17 teachers, Hendricks Elem Community Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

As part of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district, the school operates under a community academy model, which emphasizes the integration of academic instruction with social and emotional support services to meet the diverse needs of its student population.

The school is situated in a historically significant area of the South Side and strives to act as a neighborhood hub for families.
