LAVIZZO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Lavizzo 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 357 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, Lavizzo Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. 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.

Lavizzo Elementary School, located in the Roseland neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, is a public school serving students in prekindergarten through eighth grade. As part of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district, the school functions as a community anchor, providing core academic instruction alongside support services intended to address the specific educational and social-emotional needs of its local student population.

The school is characterized by its commitment to fostering a structured learning environment that emphasizes literacy, mathematics, and holistic student development. Like many schools in the CPS system, Lavizzo works to provide extracurricular opportunities and academic interventions designed to prepare students for the transition to high school. By focusing on building strong relationships between staff, students, and families, the school strives to create a supportive culture that promotes both academic achievement and personal growth within the Roseland community.
