St. Patrick's Academy was a Catholic grammar school that was located in Chicago, Illinois.
[1] St. Patrick's was located on the northwest corner of Oakley Avenue and Washington Boulevard.
[3] It served a small group of children (about 120, in eight grades and kindergarten) from all over Chicago with heavy representation from the Italian, Irish and Polish communities.
Class sizes were small and two grades often occupied the same classroom.
The large building that housed the school also provided rooms for single women who worked in the nearby Chicago Loop.
