MANIERRE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Manierre 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 344 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 19 teachers, Manierre 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.

Manierre Elementary School, located in the Near North Side community of Chicago, serves as a neighborhood public school within the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district. Situated in the 1420 N. Hudson Ave area, the school has historically played a central role in a neighborhood that has undergone significant demographic and architectural shifts over the last few decades, particularly following the transformation of the nearby Cabrini-Green public housing developments. The school operates with a commitment to providing foundational education to students in the surrounding area, focusing on academic growth and social-emotional development.

Like many schools in the CPS system, Manierre emphasizes community engagement and strives to provide a supportive environment for its diverse student body. The school’s programming is designed to meet the specific needs of its learners through a standard core curriculum, often supplemented by efforts to enhance literacy and numeracy skills. Because it is located in a rapidly evolving urban corridor, Manierre often balances the challenges of serving a community in transition with the goal of preparing its students for success in high school and beyond. Prospective parents or visitors are encouraged to contact the school office directly for the most current information regarding specific extracurricular programs, enrollment procedures, or school performance data.
