Evergreen Academy Elem School is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Chicago Public Schools Dist 299 school district, located in Chicago, IL with about 316 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade 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 18 teachers, Evergreen Academy Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
