What Jane Addams School does

Jane Addams Elementary School is a public K-8 school (including full-day and half-day Pre-K) operated by the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district and located at 10810 South Avenue H on Chicago's East Side. It serves students residing in its CPS-defined attendance area and is led by Principal Alejandra Gutierrez and Assistant Principal David Jaramillo. The school implements a Personalized Learning instructional model in which students help design their own learning paths, supported by Social-Emotional Learning integration during WIN time and a broad enrichment rotation covering STEM, art, music, physical education, computers, and Spanish.

The school's core program mix includes bilingual education with Spanish/ESL endorsement, Special Education services (IEPs and 504s), enrichment programs in STEM, sports, music, mentoring, and tutoring, and a Student Council. The technology stack is composed of third-party EdTech platforms integrated with CPS district systems: IXL (math practice), Khan Academy (supplemental learning), Lexia Core 5 (literacy), Google Classroom and Google Sites (teacher/classroom), and the CPS Virtual Library, with a Technology Coordinator (Mr. Bryan Utesch) overseeing integration. The school also maintains a community partner ecosystem that includes the Museum of Science and Industry, Project Syncere, DonorsChoose, Teach Plus, the Algebra Hub with Virtual Academy, and Tutor Corps.

The business model is non-commercial: as a public school, Jane Addams charges no tuition and is funded through CPS district allocations and public education appropriations. The school is governed in part through elected parent and community bodies — Bilingual Advisory Committee (BAC), Parent Advisory Council (PAC), Local School Council (LSC), and PTO — which integrate families into school operations. Enrollment is administered through the CPS Enrollment system, and the school communicates with families via its website, a monthly newsletter, a Facebook page, and the Aspen Portal. The staff directory shows approximately 50+ staff including 35+ teachers, with several long-tenured faculty members (25–31 years), indicating a stable institutional workforce. Revenue, enrollment counts, and per-pupil funding details are not publicly disclosed at the school level.

Broad incumbents

• Uncommon Schools: Uncommon Schools is a multi-state charter management organization operating K-12 schools with a college-prep focus and long school days. Comparable to Jane Addams in serving K-8 students in urban neighborhoods with high academic expectations, though it spans multiple regions and is non-profit charter rather than district-run.
• Achievement First:
• KIPP Foundation: KIPP is a national K-12 charter network focused on underserved communities, with a strong emphasis on college prep, extended learning time, and structured school cultures. Comparable to Jane Addams in mission (rigorous K-8 education for neighborhood families) and in serving similar urban, predominantly low-income student populations, though KIPP operates across many campuses nationwide.
• Success Academy Charter Schools: Success Academy is a large charter network running K-12 schools in New York City with a focus on rigorous academics, data-driven instruction, and enrichment. Comparable to Jane Addams in serving urban families seeking a structured, high-expectations K-8 environment, though at much greater scale and in a different district.

Others

• Chicago Public Schools (district): Chicago Public Schools is the parent district that operates Jane Addams Elementary, plus hundreds of other K-8 and K-12 schools across Chicago. Included as the institutional parent and the relevant benchmark set — peer schools for enrollment, performance, and budget comparisons are the other CPS elementary schools in the network.
