Located on a quiet residential street near the border of Albany Park and Irving Park, Patrick Henry Elementary School serves K-8 students from both neighborhoods. Henry Elementary emphasizes a personalized learning experience that empowers students to take an active role in their education. To achieve these goals, instructors at Henry Elementary utilize a collection of highly regarded curriculum practices used in countless successful schools across the country. In kindergarten, Balanced Literacy practice ensures that all students are inspired and encouraged to learn reading and writing, regardless of their starting point. Grades 2 through 4 are taught via the Patrick Henry Personalized Learning Initiative, which empowers students to take an active role in their learning. This involves instructing students to chart their progress and learn what works best for their success. Older students practice Summit Learning, a framework that helps them learn at their own pace by setting goals and prioritizing the work required to reach them. Summit Learning is used in schools across the country, with 95% of participating teachers stating that the program positively impacted their students. Thanks to these innovative methods and dedicated teaching staff, Henry Elementary is helping prepare even the youngest Chicagoans for a successful life outside school.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

What a great school Henry is for our nieghborhood. There are a lot of changes going on and the principal is on top of the students academic progress. I heard they went up 10 points in Reading on their Area Wide Testing. The new principal is very engaging with the community. What a great change!
