Creating a Quality Education for Every Child in Every Community

2011 School Actions

Chicago Public Schools officials announced a series of proposed school actions that focus on providing students from among the district’s lowest performing schools with access to higher quality school options and making significant investments to help boost their academic development. These 20 school actions will help fulfill the district’s mission to increase student academic achievement and graduate them ready for college and career.

 Review the documents the District has provided to families along with information about the schools in which CPS is taking action. In addition, the transition reports include greater detail about the current state of these schools.
