Funston Elementary School
Frederick Funston Elementary School, commonly known as Funston Elementary School, is a public elementary school in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, operated by Chicago Public Schools. The school enrolls about 440 students in grades pre-kindergarten through eight. It opened in the mid-1890s as the Bismarck Elementary School and was renamed in 1918, amid anti-German sentiment during World War I, for United States Army general Frederick Funston. The school has been a center of parent and community organizing in Logan Square. The Logan Square Neighborhood Association's parent mentor program, which was later replicated in dozens of schools across Illinois, began at Funston in 1995. In 2025 the school received national attention after a federal agent released tear gas across the street from it during an immigration enforcement operation.
