Last Monday I provided a map of the Top 5 Chicago High Schools based on the Illinois Standards Achievement Tests (ISAT) 2010 rankings released the previous weekend. Here’s a map of the Top 10 Chicago Elementary Schools based on 2010 ISAT rankings by the Chicago Sun-Times.
- Decatur in West Ridge was at the top of the rankings.
- Keller in the Mount Greenwood ranked 2nd.
- Lenart in Chatham ranked 3rd.
- Edison in Albany Park ranked 4th.
- Skinner in Near North Side ranked 6th.
- McDade in Chatham ranked 7th.
- Poe in Pullman ranked 9th.
- Lincoln in Lincoln Park ranked 14th.
- Bell in the North Center ranked 29th.
- Oriole Park in Norwood Park ranked 32nd.
All of these schools with the exception of Oriole Park use tests to select some or all of their students. Thus, residing in a home in one of these areas does not guarentee that children can attend these schools.
