Bronzeville Scholastic HS

Bronzeville Scholastic is a regular public high school serving grades 9 through 12 in Chicago, Illinois. It enrolls 109 students — a small footprint that produces one of the tightest student-teacher ratios in the state at 6.8 to one. That means consistent, direct access to instruction at a scale most public high schools can't match.

The school earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10, rated Exceptional, and ranks 4th among all 703 public high schools in Illinois. Its growth score of 9.9 is the defining metric: students here advance academically at a rate that outperforms 98% of Illinois public schools, regardless of where they started. The academic score of 7.2 reflects solid achievement, but growth is where Bronzeville Scholastic separates from its peers — it signals that students are gaining ground fast, year over year.

Within Chicago, the school holds the 7th spot among 629 public schools, and sits at 73rd statewide across 3,813 public schools of all levels. For a high school of 109 students, those numbers are striking. Parents weighing options for academically motivated students who want small-class access and documented upward trajectory will find this school ranks among the strongest choices in the city.

With an enrollment of 109 students, Bronzeville Scholastic HS is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 6.8:1, Bronzeville Scholastic HS offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
