Principal's Message

John C. Coonley School provides an outstanding education within an encouraging and positive environment. Located in the Northcenter community of Chicago, Coonley is a public elementary school where teaching and learning are collaborative, energizing and interactive.

Within our renovated century-old building is a dynamic and thriving learning community. Students, teachers, parents, and administrators work together to create an environment where all students are challenged and nurtured. At Coonley, students grow to be scholars who reflect on their academic achievements, are motivated towards post-secondary opportunities, seek new challenges and provide service to their community.

We are proud of our committed and talented faculty; our dedicated and caring parent community; and our creative, energetic and talented students.

​We hope to always be a place "Where kids love to learn."
