Named after 19th-century American poet James Russell Lowell, James Russell Lowell Elementary school seeks to educate children in an environment focused on equity and self-development.
Small class sizes, rigorous academics, and a culture of peace make Lowell an excellent place to nurture students both in and outside of school. Extracurricular initiatives include socially-engaged projects like yearly food drives and the annual Back to School Bash, which brings students, parents, teachers, and staff together to engage and improve their community.
As a Chicago Public Schools campus, Lowell Elementary offers plenty of opportunities for parental involvement in their child’s education, helping the school to support their students and parents.
