INTRODUCTION

High school is an important step in your educational life, as it helps to prepare you for college or your future career, and provides opportunities for learning essential components of personal development, including self-discipline, time management, decision-making, and teamwork. Because students have different interests, abilities, and needs, the Chicago Public Schools offers a wide variety of schools and programs to ensure that you are able to find the right fit.

All students are entitled to attend their neighborhood attendance area school; visit www.cps.edu and click ‘School Locator’ to find out the name of your attendance area high school. Contact the school directly for registration information. You can also apply to other schools throughout the city; the key aspect of applying for high school is choosing the school that meets your needs and fulfills your interests.

The High School Guide is designed to provide you with details on how to apply to the various schools and programs available, as well as offer specifics on each school. All district and charter schools are included in the guide; listed in alphabetical order, each school offers a profile that contains the school’s location, eligibility requirements (if any), selection procedures, school performance, academic programs, sports and extracurricular activities, and other school-related characteristics. In addition to the profiles, the guide contains details regarding application, selection, and notification procedures that will help you to understand the entire process, from start to finish.

Read on for information on how to get started! Resources

The High School Guide is your best resource for understanding the application and selection procedures, as well as learning about the wide variety of options available to you. Listed below are additional resources that we recommend as you begin identifying schools and becoming familiar with the application process.

Instructional Video: This video provides step-by-step instructions for the application process for all applicants. It can be accessed at www.cpsoae.org (click ‘Resources’).

Power Point Presentations: Information about the application process is also contained in an instructional Power Point Presentation accessible at www.cpsoae.org (click ‘Resources’). There are two presentations: an abbreviated version and a longer, more detailed version.

Open Houses: Many schools hold Open House events, which provide the opportunity for a personal, first-hand experience of the school. You can find information about the dates and times for these events at the Office of Access and Enrollment website, www.cpsoae.org (click ‘Events’). The list of Open Houses is updated frequently, so check back for additional dates. Also, the list of Open Houses for all Selective Enrollment High Schools can be found at www.cpsoae.org, click ‘Programs’ followed by ‘Selective Enrollment High Schools’ and ‘Open House Events.”

Eligibility/PIN Letter: This letter contains your unique Personal Identification Number (PIN), which you can use on the online application portal to schedule your tests, Information Sessions, and auditions, and submit your applications. The letter for CPS and students also contains students’ NWEA scores and final (cumulative) grades from seventh grade, lists the programs with centralized application processes for which you are eligible to apply, and provides additional information, if applicable, regarding tests, information sessions, and other application requirements.

4 • High School Guide | 2016-2017

CPS and charter school students receive their letter through their counselor at their current school, and letters for non-CPS students who register for the NWEA before September 10th are mailed to their home. (Non-CPS students who register for the NWEA MAP after September 10th must submit paper applications and do not receive a PIN letter. Go to www.cpsoae.org and click ‘Apply’ and ‘NWEA for Non-CPS Students’ if you have not yet registered for the NWEA MAP. The deadline to register for the NWEA MAP and submit applications is December 11, 2015.)

NOTE! Additional district or charter high schools or high school programs may be approved by the Chicago Board of Education in the coming months. Please check www.cpsoae.org for updates. How to Apply

Five school types have a centralized application process that is managed by the Office of Access and Enrollment. You have the option of applying online OR submitting a paper application to apply to the programs below. (Do not submit both an online application AND a paper application to a program).

CTE - College and Career Academies IB High Schools Magnet High Schools and Programs Military Academies Selective Enrollment High Schools

(To apply to any other type of school, see the school’s profile in this guide for application instructions.)

The following provides step-by-step instructions on how to apply to the five school types listed above, via the online application process, and the paper application process.

But first, WHAT’S UP WITH THE NWEA?

The five school types above have minimum requirements in order for students to be eligible to apply. Eligibility for applicants to these schools will be based on your scores on the Northwest Education Association Measures of Academic Progress (NWEA).

The NWEA is administered to all CPS district, charter, and contract school students. CPS also administers the NWEA, free of charge, to non-CPS students who are applying for ninth grade. (Only scores from the NWEA administered by CPS will be accepted for the application process.) Non-CPS students who register to take the NWEA by September 10, 2015, will be scheduled to take the NWEA in October 2015. Non-CPS students who register to take the NWEA between September 11, 2015, and the December 11, 2015, final deadline, will be scheduled to take the NWEA in January 2016. If you are a non-CPS student in eighth grade and you have not yet registered for the NWEA, visit www.cpsoae.org (click ‘Apply’ and ‘NWEA for Non-CPS Students), or contact the Office of Access and Enrollment at (773) 553-2060. The deadline to register for the NWEA is December 11, 2015.

NOTE that non-CPS students who register for the NWEA after September 10, 2015, will not be able to apply to schools using the online application portal. These students must apply using paper applications submitted by December 11, 2015, in order to be considered for the schools of their choice. Paper applications can be accessed at www.cpsoae.org (click ‘Apply’ and ‘Application Materials’).

One more thing about: ADMISSIONS SCHEDULING

Four of the programs with centralized application processes (IB High Schools, Military Academies, Selective Enrollment High Schools, and Senn Fine and Performing Arts Magnet Program) require applicants to participate in admissions screenings as part of the selection process. There are three types of admissions screenings: the Selective Enrollment admissions exam, the IB and Military Information Sessions, and the Senn Fine and Performing Arts audition/portfolio review. If you apply online, you can schedule your own admissions screenings. If you apply using the paper applications, see the application for scheduling information.

ONLINE APPLICATION PROCESS

The following provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the online process to schedule your admissions screenings and submit your applications.

1. Consult your Eligibility/PIN Letter

Your Eligibility/PIN Letter contains your Personal Identification Number (PIN), which is required for your first-time-access to the online application site. CPS and charter school students receive their letter through the counselor at their current school, and letters for non-CPS students (who register for the NWEA by September 10th) are mailed to the student’s home address approximately two weeks before their first NWEA test date).

2. Set up your account on the online application site.

Once you have your Eligibility/PIN, go to the online application site, www.apply.cps.edu, to set up your account. The site will be accessible starting October 1, 2015. Follow the instructions on the online site) to enter your PIN and create your account.

NOTE! You will only need to enter your PIN the first time you access the site. Afterwards, you will login using your email address and the password you create. Keep your email address and password in a safe place as you will need them each time you want to access the website.

3. Schedule appointments

The following schools/programs have required admissions screenings in which applicants must participate in order to be considered. The school/program and the type of screening it requires is listed below: IB High Schools: Information Session Military Academies: Information Session Selective Enrollment HS: Admissions Exam Senn Performing Arts Program: Audition/Portfolio Review

If you plan to apply to any of these schools/programs, you will schedule your own appointments, starting October 1, 2015.

IMPORTANT!!! The online application process requires two SEPARATE steps. FIRST, you schedule your admission screenings for the schools where you plan to apply. SECOND, you submit the applications for the schools to which you are applying. BOTH OF THESE STEPS MUST BE COMPLETED BY DECEMBER 11, 2015 -- EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOT YET TAKEN THE ADMISSIONS EXAM OR ATTENDED THE

6 • High School Guide | 2016-2017

INFORMATION SESSION OR AUDITION/PORTFOLIO REVIEW. For instance, if you schedule and take a Selective Enrollment test, but do not submit a Selective Enrollment application, you will not be considered for any Selective Enrollment schools.

All online scheduling must be completed by the application deadline of December 11, 2015. You will not be able to do any online scheduling after the deadline -- you can only RESCHEDULE appointments you made before the deadline.

NOTE! If you have an IEP or 504 Plan created through the Chicago Public Schools, information regarding your accommodations has been identified by the Office of Access and Enrollment. As a result, the online scheduling site will give you access to those dates, times, and sites where your IEP/504 Plan accommodations can be met.

One more thing about: Admissions Screenings

For each appointment that you schedule, you will need to print a Confirmation Form. This contains information regarding the type of appointment that you scheduled, as well as the date, time, and location of your appointment, and any other instructions that you will need. Be sure to keep your Confirmation Forms in a safe place – you will need to take your Confirmation Forms to your appointments.

If you misplace your Confirmation Form, you can log back on to the online site,www.apply.cps.edu , and print another form.

NOTE: The online application site will be accessible AFTER the December 11th deadline for purposes of rescheduling admissions screenings and printing Confirmation Forms ONLY. Be sure that you schedule your original appointments and submit your applications BEFORE the December 11, 2015, application deadline.

4. Submit applications

After you schedule all of your appointments, you are ready to submit your applications. REMEMBER, this is a two-step process: (1) Schedule, then (2) Apply. The website will lead you to the application page after you schedule your appointments. (You can submit your applications any time between October 1st and December 11th.) Follow the instructions on the online site for submitting applications – once you have decided on the schools to which you are applying, be sure to hit the SUBMIT button for each program. Three things will happen after you successfully submit your application:

• You will see a Confirmation Page. This is the last page that will appear on your screen at the online application site after you submit your application. It is highly recommended that you print this page and keep it for your records. • You will receive an email confirmation. This will confirm that your application was successfully submitted and it will contain additional information that you will need, such as notification dates. Please read this information carefully. • The word “Completed” will appear in the status box for the program to which you are applying. If the status says “Not Completed,” you have NOT submitted your application and you will need to do so before the December 11, 2015, deadline. Click “Apply” to access the application.

• 7 High School Guide | 2016-2017

PAPER APPLICATION PROCESS

If you do not have access to the internet, or do not wish to schedule and apply using the online process, you can apply to the following schools and programs using paper applications: CTE- College and Career Academies, IB High Schools, Magnet High Schools and Programs, and Selective Enrollment High Schools/Military Academies.

• You can obtain paper applications from the Office of Access and Enrollment website www.( cpsoae.org -- click ‘Apply’ and ‘Application Materials’). • Mail or hand-deliver your completed application(s) to the Office of Access and Enrollment, 42 W. Madison St., Garden Level, Chicago, IL 60602. Faxed or emailed applications will not be accepted. • If you mail your application, it is strongly recommended that you: (1) have a postal official postmark the envelope in front of you, (2) send your application via certified mail, so that you have proof that you mailed it, and (3) include a self-addressed, stamped postcard or envelope, which will be mailed back to you once your application is received. If you do not receive your envelope/postcard within two weeks, contact the Office of Access and Enrollment, as this is an indication that your application was not received. If your application is not received, and you cannot provide documentation containing evidence that it was mailed to the Office of Access and Enrollment, you cannot be considered for the schools in which you are interested. • Once your application has been processed, you will be scheduled for any appointments that are required for the schools to which you applied. • You will be notified by U.S. mail of the dates, times, and locations of your appointments. Notification letters will be mailed to your home. NOTE: Letters for the Senn audition/portfolio review will be sent by Senn to the applicants’ homes; letters from Senn should be received no later than January 29, 2016.

One more thing about: SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS

The management of applications for CTE-College and Career Academies, IB High Schools, Magnet High Schools, Military Academies, and Selective Enrollment High Schools -- both online applications and paper applications -- takes place through a single, centralized database. As a result, the information contained on all applications submitted for a student must be in alignment; if you submit an online application for some programs, and a paper application for others; or if you open an online account but submit paper applications; or if you submit paper applications for several different programs, you must ensure that all of your information is the same on each source. Specifically, your home address, date of birth, spelling of your name, parent’s name, and any other pertinent information, must match on all applications/accounts. If your information does not match, we will use the information on your online account or, if you only submit paper applications, on the first application that is processed by our office.

8 • High School Guide | 2016-2017

If you change your address after you submit your application, you are responsible for notifying the Office of Access and Enrollment of the change by submitting a Contact Information Modification Form, accessible at www.cpsoae.org (click ‘Apply’ and ‘Contact Information Modification Form’). You cannot change your address by submitting a second application; if you do not submit a Contact Information Modification Form, the address used to determine tiers, overlay boundaries, and attendance boundaries for your child will be the address on the application that we process first. Contact Information Modification Forms must be received by the Office of Access and Enrollment no later than January 15, 2016.

Deadline

The deadline is December 11, 2015, for district schools. This is the deadline for scheduling appointments AND submitting applications. Paper applications must be postmarked no later than December 11th; hand-delivered applications must be received by 5 p.m. on the 11th; and online scheduling and applications must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. on the 11th.

Centrally Managed Processes: Eligibility and Selection

The Chicago Public Schools system offers a wide variety of schools and programs to meet the varying interests and needs of students. As a result, schools have different eligibility requirements and selection procedures, depending on the type of school or program.

Some schools and programs accept the Standard High School application, while others have their own application; information on which application is required by each school can be found in the School Profiles section. In addition, five types of schools and programs have a centrally managed application process: (1) CTE-College and Career Academies, (2) International Baccalaureate High Schools, (3) Magnet Schools and Programs, (4) Military Academies, and (5) Selective Enrollment High Schools. This section provides details regarding the eligibility requirements and selection processes for these schools and programs. (Additional information regarding the academic program offered by each type of school can be found in the Glossary of this guide.)

But first, WHAT’S NEW?

Attendance at an Information Session is required for all eligible applicants to the International Baccalaureate High Schools. Sessions will be offered at each IB High School; you can attend an Information Session at a school even if you do not plan to apply to it. Students who apply online can schedule their own sessions; starting this year, students who submit paper applications will have to contact the school directly to schedule the Information Session.

CTE - College and Career Academies CTE-College and Career Academies prepare students for college and career success. Students take college prep courses in the core areas of math, science, and English, and also participate in hands- on training experiences in their chosen industry. (For more information on this program, see the Glossary of this guide.) Note that the CTE-College and Career Academy at Westinghouse High School has a separate application process; contact the school for details.

Eligibility Lottery Academies: no minimum requirements to apply

Selective Academies: Students must have completed seventh grade during the 2014-2015 school year. Students repeating eighth grade and students pushed into eighth grade from sixth grade due to age requirements are not eligible. IN ADDITION, to be eligible to apply for the CTE-College and Career Academies at Hancock and Jones, students must score at or above the 24th percentile in reading and math on the NWEA MAP; students with an IEP and students receiving bilingual services must have NWEA MAP percentiles in reading and math that equal at least 48 (e.g., 21st percentile in reading and 27th percentile in math, etc.).

Admissions Screening None of the CTE-College and Career Academies have required admissions screenings.

Selection Lottery Academies: Most of the College and Career Academies are lottery academies. If more applications are received than there are spaces available, students are selected by lottery.

10 • High School Guide | 2016-2017

Preference is given to students with minimum NWEA MAP scores at the 24th percentile or above in reading and math (except Dunbar, which has no academic preference). Students with an IEP, or students receiving bilingual services, receive preference when their NWEA MAP percentiles in reading and math equal at least 48 (e.g., 21st percentile in reading and 27th percentile in math, etc.). If not all spaces are filled by applicants meeting the percentile minimums, remaining spaces are offered to applicants with scores below the 24th percentile. At least 30% of the seats will be made available to attendance area applicants.

Selective Academies: Selection is based on points for Health Sciences, Pre-Law, IT - Cisco Networking, Database Programming, and Pre-Engineering Academies. Students are given points based on their NWEA MAP scores and their 2014-2015 final GPA (as calculated based on final grades in reading, math, science, and social studies). IN ADDITION, Jones and Hancock select students who live in their overlay boundaries first. If any seats remain after these students are accommodated, students will be selected from outside of the area.

Each school selects its minimum cutoff score for selections, and applicants meeting or exceeding this score will receive an offer.

International Baccalaureate (IB) High Schools The International Baccalaureate Programmes are guided by the mission to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. IB programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners.

CPS offers three IB programs in high school: IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), IB Diploma Programme (IBDP), and IB Career-related Programme (IBCP). The MYP is a program for ninth and tenth graders; interested neighborhood students are enrolled automatically, and out-of-attendance- area students can apply to attend if space is available. Application information for the MYP is available at the individual schools. The IB Career-related Programme is designed to specifically address the needs of students who wish to engage in career-related education; students can obtain information once they are enrolled in the school. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a comprehensive and challenging pre-university program for academically motivated students in grades 11 and 12.

More information on these programs can be found in the Glossary of this guide. The Glossary also identifies the programs offered at each IB school, and indicates whether the program is authorized or pending authorization.

Students apply to the Diploma Programme using the centralized application process described below.

Eligibility Students who are interested in the IB Diploma Programme at any CPS IB high school must meet minimum eligibility requirements in order to apply. Eligibility is based on the student’s NWEA MAP scores in reading and math, and the student’s seventh grade GPA in the four core subjects of reading, math, science, and social studies. To be eligible to apply, students must have a minimum NWEA MAP percentile of 24 in both reading and math and a minimum 2.5 GPA. Students with an IEP and students receiving bilingual services must have NWEA MAP percentiles in reading and math that equal at least 48 (e.g., 20th percentile in reading and 28th percentile in math, etc.) and a minimum 2.5 GPA in seventh grade. All interested students must submit an application, including students who live in the schools’ attendance boundaries.

• 11 High School Guide | 2016-2017

All students applying for the Diploma Programme must attend one IB Information Session. Attending the Information Session does not guarantee an offer of admittance. However, if you do not attend an Information Session, you will not be considered for any of the IB schools to which you apply.

Admissions Screening The Information Sessions will take place at each of the IB High Schools on designated dates. You will only attend one Information Session, even if you are applying to more than one IB high school, and you can attend the Information Session at any IB High School, even if you do not plan to apply to it. If you are using the online portal, you can schedule or reschedule your appointment online. If you submit a paper application, you will need to contact the school to schedule your session.

Selection Students are selected based on a point system with a maximum of 900 points, derived from NWEA MAP scores (450 maximum points) and seventh grade final (cumulative) grades in reading, math, science, and social studies (450 maximum points). Students residing within the attendance boundary of a high school with an IB program will receive 50 additional points for his/her application to that school, which are added to the student’s point score prior to selection. Each IB High School selects a minimum cutoff score for selections and applicants meeting or exceeding this score will receive an offer.

If you are enrolled in an IB Middle Years Programme that has a partner high school, or if you are enrolled in the Academic Center at Morgan Park or Taft, and you meet the minimum eligibility requirements to apply for the IB Diploma Programme, you will be admitted to the partner IB program for your school if you complete an IB application and attend an Information Session.

If you attend: You will be admitted to the IB Program for the school indicated provided you meet the minimum application requirements and attend an Information Session

Eligibility Students must meet minimum eligibility requirements in order to apply. Eligibility is based on the student’s NWEA MAP scores in reading and math. To be eligible to apply to most magnet high schools, students must have a minimum NWEA MAP percentile of 24 in both reading and math. Students with an IEP and students receiving bilingual services must have NWEA MAP percentiles in reading and math that equal at least 48 (e.g., 21st percentile in reading and 27th percentile in math, etc.).

There is ONE EXCEPTION: To apply to the Scholars Program at Von Steuben Metropolitan Science Center, students must have a minimum percentile of 60 in both reading and math on the NWEA MAP, and a minimum seventh grade GPA of 3.0 (as calculated based on final grades in reading, math, science, and social studies).

Selection Students are selected for seats in most Magnet High Schools through a computerized lottery (except the Scholars Program at Von Steuben High School, which selects students based on NWEA MAP scores, GPA, teacher recommendations, and a student essay. See www.vonsteuben.org for details – click ‘About’ and ‘Admissions’). Students must meet minimum eligibility requirements in order to be included in the lottery. The first seats are offered to eligible applicants who are siblings of students who are currently enrolled, and who will be still enrolled, in the school in the 2016-2017 school year. The sibling policy applies only if the application indicates the currently enrolled sibling’s last name, current school name, and CPS ID number, and this information has been verified. After the siblings are accommodated, the next 40% of the available seats at most Magnet High Schools are designated for students who live within the school’s defined proximity boundary – in most cases, a 2.5 mile radius of the school. (Note: There is no proximity lottery conducted for Curie High School, which has an attendance boundary. Proximity lotteries are also not conducted for Magnet High Schools where at least 50% of the students reside in the neighborhood and at least 50% are of a single racial/ethnic group.) After the proximity students are accommodated, the remaining seats are distributed evenly among four socio-ecomomic tiers, and the seats are filled by computerized lottery. For more information on the creation of the tiers, see page 16.

Magnet Programs Magnet programs are offered in Harlan High School and ; the programs accept students from throughout the city. Harlan offers a pre-Engineering program and Senn offers a Fine and Performing Arts program.

Eligibility Students must meet minimum eligibility requirements in order to apply. Eligibility is based on the student’s NWEA MAP scores in reading and math. To be eligible to apply to magnet programs, students must have a minimum NWEA MAP percentile of 24 in both reading and math. Students with an IEP and students receiving bilingual services must have NWEA MAP percentiles in reading and math that equal at least 48 (e.g., 21st percentile in reading and 27th percentile in math, etc.).

• 13 High School Guide | 2016-2017

Admissions Screening The only type of magnet program with a required admissions screening is Senn Fine and Performing Arts program. An audition/portfolio review is required for the arts discipline to which you apply (dance, music, theater, or visual arts). You can only apply to one of the four disciplines. If you are applying via paper application, go to www.sennarts.org and click ‘Admissions’ for information on scheduling. If you need to reschedule an audition/portfolio review, contact the school directly at (773) 534-2501.

Selection

Harlan Eligible students are selected through a computerized lottery. The first seats are offered to eligible applicants who are siblings of students who are currently enrolled, and who will be still enrolled, in the school in the 2016-2017 school year. The sibling policy applies only if the application indicates the currently enrolled sibling’s last name, current school name, and CPS ID number, and this information has been verified. After the siblings are accommodated, the remaining seats are distributed evenly among the four socio-economic tiers, and the seats are filled by computerized lottery. For more information on the creation of the tiers, see page 16.

Military Academies Military Academies prepare students for college and subsequent careers in a structured environment. Students wear uniforms, and take part in leadership opportunities and co-curricular activities, such as college trips and citywide competitions. (See the Glossary in this guide for more information.)

Eligibility Students must meet minimum eligibility requirements in order to apply. Eligibility is based on the student’s NWEA MAP scores in reading and math.

14 • High School Guide | 2016-2017

Selective Enrollment High Schools Selective Enrollment High Schools provide academically advanced students with a challenging college preparatory experience. Each of the Selective Enrollment High Schools offers a rigorous curriculum with mainly honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses.

Eligibility Students must meet minimum eligibility requirements in order to apply. Eligibility is based on the student’s NWEA MAP scores in reading and math. To be eligible to apply, students must have a minimum NWEA MAP percentile of 24 in both reading and math. Students with an IEP and students receiving bilingual services must have NWEA MAP percentiles in reading and math that equal at least 48 (e.g., 21st percentile in reading and 27th percentile in math, etc.).

You must schedule (or reschedule) no later than two weeks prior to the test date. For example, if you want to test on November 21, 2015, you must schedule your test no later than November 7, 2015.

Selection Student selection is based on a point system, with a maximum of 900 points, derived from seventh grade final (cumulative) grades in reading, math, science and social studies (300 points), NWEA MAP scores (300 points), and the admissions exam (300 points). (A rubric showing how the points are allotted for each of these three areas can be found on the Office of Access and Enrollment website, www.cpsoae.org – click ‘Programs’ followed by ‘Selective Enrollment High Schools’ and ‘Scoring Rubric.’)

The first 30% of available seats at each school are filled strictly according to the student scores – also referred to as the “rank” score – the seats are filled by the top-scoring students. The remaining seats are equally distributed among the four tiers and are filled by the highest-scoring students in each tier. (For more details on how this process works, see the Office of Access and Enrollment website,www. cpsoae.org – click ‘Programs’ followed by ‘Selective Enrollment High Schools’ and ‘Student Selection: Step-by-Step Illustration.’)

A Closer Look at . . .

Selective Enrollment Test Results

Selective Enrollment High School testing will begin in November 2015 and end in January 2016. If you schedule your exam for November 14, 2015, or November 21, 2015, your test results will be mailed to your home before the application deadline in December.

Once you receive your test scores, you can calculate your final total point score by using the Selective Enrollment High Schools rubric, then review the cutoff scores from the 2015-2016 Selective Enrollment High School selection process to get an idea of the scores that were accepted in last year’s process. (The rubric and the cutoff scores can be found at the Office of Access and Enrollment website, www.cpsoae.org – click ‘Programs’ followed by ‘Selective Enrollment High Schools’ and ‘Cutoff Scores’.) Please note that the points required for admission to Selective Enrollment High Schools change from year to year, based on the applicant pool; the cutoff scores from last year are intended to serve only as a guide. If you take your Selective Enrollment test AFTER November 21, 2015, you will receive your test results in the notification letters that are mailed February 26, 2016.

Socio-Economic Tiers

Magnet High Schools and Selective Enrollment High Schools take into consideration socio-economic characteristics as part of the selection process. This process involves the use of socio-economic “tiers” that are derived from census tract data. Note that the tiers are based on the address provided on your application, which must be your primary address. (This is defined as the address where you sleep every night.) If you gain admission to a school or program based on a falsified application, you may be subject to immediate removal from that school or program. The following provides an overview on how the tiers are formed.

Every Chicago address falls within a specific census tract. We look at five socio-economic characteristics for each census tract: (1) median family income, (2) percentage of single-family homes, (3) percentage of homes where English is not the first language, (4) percentage of homes occupied by the homeowner, and (5) level of adult education attainment. We also look at a sixth characteristic, the achievement scores from attendance area schools in each census tract.

Based on the results of each of these six areas, each census tract is given a specific score; these scores are ranked and divided into four groups – or “tiers” – each consisting of approximately the same number of school-age children. This is how we establish the four tiers. Consequently, every Chicago address falls into one of the four tiers, based on the characteristics mentioned above.

Details on how the tiers are utilized in the selection process for Magnet High Schools and Selective Enrollment High Schools are outlined in those sections.

To find out the tier for your home address, follow the steps below:

1. Go to www.cps.edu. 2. Scroll down and click ’View Our Schools’ under ‘Explore the CPS School Locator.’ 3. Type in your address in the box at the top left of the page. 4. Click the magnifiying glass icon at the right of your address. 5. At the top right of the page, click the third icon from the left (it looks like a magnifying glass with a plus sign inside of it). This is the ‘Advanced Search’ icon. 6. In the drop-down menu, click ‘Overlays’ and then click ‘CPS Tiers.’ 7. The map will display a yellow pushpin graphic. (If you cannot clearly see the pushpin, use the device on the left side of the map to zoom in by clicking the plus sign.) 8. Put your cursor over the pushpin. Your address and your tier will be displayed.

If you do not have internet access, contact the Office of Access and Enrollment at (773) 553-2060 or [email protected] to find out the tier in which your home address is located.

Tips for Applying

All Schools

• Don’t wait until the last day to apply – you never know what might happen to delay your submission. Late applications will not be processed.

• If you mail your application, it is strongly recommended that you: (1) have a postal official postmark the envelope in front of you, (2) send your application via certified mail, so that you have a receipt, and (3) include a self-addressed, stamped postcard or envelope, which will be mailed back to you once your application is received. If you do not receive your envelope/ postcard within two weeks, contact the Office of Access and Enrollment.

16 • High School Guide | 2016-2017

• Consider as many schools as possible in which you are interested – don’t limit your choices to just a few well-known schools. The more schools you identify as options, the better your chances for selection.

• Don’t apply to schools that you don’t want to attend. If a school is too far from your home, or there are other reasons why you would not accept an offer if you receive it, do not include it on your application.

• For security purposes, if you or your parent need information or have questions regarding your application, you or your parent will need to contact the Office of Access and Enrollment from one of the telephone numbers on your application or the email address on your application.

Schools with Centrally Managed Application Processes

• You are strongly encouraged to use the online site (apply.cps.edu) to schedule your own tests, Information Sessions, and auditions, and apply to the schools of your choice. Here’s why: – You can schedule your appointments for dates, times, and sites that are convenient for you. – You can use the same site to schedule your appointments and submit your applications. – If you misplace your Confirmation Forms, you can reprint duplicates from the online site. – You will receive email confirmations after you successfully submit your applications.

• If you are applying to a /program as a sibling, you must be identified as a sibling on your application. If you are not identified as a sibling, you will not be given selection preference as a sibling. You will only need to identify one sibling per school.

• The application processes for the schools with centrally managed applications (CTE-College and Career Academies, IB High Schools, Magnet High Schools, Military Academies, and Selective Enrollment High Schools) include the submission of seventh grade final (cumulative) grades in reading, math, science, and social studies. These final grades must take into account the student’s grades during the entire seventh grade school year. For example, in a school with four quarters, the “final” grade is not the grade issued in the fourth quarter, but a cumulative grade that provides the mean, or average grade, of all four quarters. The student’s school is responsible for calculating and providing the final grade in each subject to the Office of Access and Enrollment.

• If you change your address after you submit your application, you are responsible for notifying the Office of Access and Enrollment by submitting a Contact Information Modification Form, accessible at www.cpsoae.org (click ‘Apply’ and ‘Contact Information Modification Form’). You cannot change your address by submitting a second application; if you do not submit a Contact Information Modification Form, the address used to determine tiers, overlay boundaries, and attendance boundaries for your child will be the address on the application that we process first. Contact Information Modification Forms must be received by the Office of Access and Enrollment no later than January 15, 2016.

• It is highly recommended that you do all of your research, including attending Open Houses, BEFORE you make your final decisions and submit your applications. However, if you need to modify your choices, you will submit an Application Modification Form, accessible atwww. cpsoae.org (click ‘Apply’’). PLEASE be sure that you are completing the form for the appropriate program. Application Modification Forms must be received by the Office of Access and Enrollment no later than January 15, 2016.

Frequently Asked Questions

The following provides additional information about the application process.

General

Is transportation provided?

Bus transportation is not generally provided for high school students. Transportation at the high school level is provided to students with disabilities if the IEP or 504 Plan requires it; for information, contact the Office of Diverse Learner Supports and Services at (773) 553-1800. Transportation may also be provided to homeless students upon enrollment; for information, contact the Office of Educational Support for Students in Temporary Living Situations at (773) 553-2242.

I am already enrolled in high school. Can I transfer to another high school next year?

Contact the high school in which you are interested for information on transfer opportunities and guidelines. Each school establishes its own guidelines and requirements for transfer students.

What is Principal Discretion?

Principal Discretion is a process that allows principals of Selective Enrollment High Schools to fill a designated number of seats, outside of the regular selection process. The Principal Discretion process takes place in March, following the first round of regular selection. Information about the process will be posted on the Office of Access and Enrollment website, www.cpsoae.org, in March 2016. Principal Discretion only applies to the 11 Selective Enrollment High Schools.

If my parents share joint custody, whose address should be used?

If you sleep at night at only one residence the majority of the time, that is your primary address and that is the address that must be entered on your application. In cases of joint custody where your residence is equally divided between two addresses, either address can be used. However, the address of only ONE parent can be used; you cannot be considered for schools by using more than one address, and you cannot submit applications with different addresses. The address that is used for the application and selection process must be the same, single address. If you submit applications with more than one address, you will be considered for the selection process using the address on the first application that is processed by the Office of Access and Enrollment.

Scheduling Process

If I am applying online, can I schedule my test, Information Sessions, and audition AFTER I submit my application?

No. You must schedule your appointments BEFORE you apply. This is a two-step process: (1) SCHEDULE, then (2) APPLY. Both steps must be completed by December 11th at 11:59 p.m.

Can I schedule an appointment online after December 11th?

No. All original appointments must be scheduled by the December 11th deadline, even if you are scheduling an appointment that is after that date. The online application site will be accessible AFTER the December 11th deadline for purposes of RESCHEDULING admissions screenings and printing

18 • High School Guide | 2016-2017

Confirmation Forms ONLY.

How do I get scheduled if I’m not applying online?

You can submit a paper application. If you are applying for Selective Enrollment High Schools, the Office of Access and Enrollment will schedule your test and notify you by U.S. mail of the date, time, and location. If you are applying for International Baccalaureate High Schools, you must contact the school where you want to attend the Information Session. If you are applying for the Fine and Performing Arts program at Senn, go to www.sennarts.org and click ‘Admissions’ for information on scheduling. If you are applying for the Military Academies, visit www.cpsoae.org, and click Programs>Military Academies>Information Sessions, and attend the session that is most convenient for you; you do not have to schedule the session in advance.

Testing Sessions

What is on the Selective Enrollment High Schools exam?

The Selective Enrollment High Schools exam is an achievement skills test that covers four subject areas: reading comprehension, vocabulary, language arts (grammar), and math word problems.

Do you provide sample questions or study materials for the Selective Enrollment High Schools exam?

The Chicago Public Schools does not recommend or provide study guides, preparation courses, or sample tests/questions for the Selective Enrollment High Schools admissions exam. The Selective Enrollment High Schools admissions exam is designed to assess student ability, knowledge, and potential for success in programs for academically advanced students.

How many Selective Enrollment tests do I have to take?

You will only take one Selective Enrollment High Schools admissions exam, regardless of the number of Selective Enrollment High Schools to which you apply.

How long is the Selective Enrollment High Schools test?

The Selective Enrollment High Schools exam is approximately three and a half hours long.

Are the Selective Enrollment High Schools exams administered in November scored differently than the exams administered in January?

The Selective Enrollment High Schools examination will be scored utilizing the norms for the specific time of year/month of school that the test is taken; a test taken in November will not be scored the same as a test taken in January.

If I take the NWEA MAP in the fall, how will my scores be compared to students who took the test last spring?

Students who test in the spring will be compared against spring norms to derive a percentile. In other words, spring testers will have percentiles that are representative only of how students rank against other spring NWEA MAP testers nationally. Students who test in the fall will only be compared to other students who test on the NWEA MAP in the fall. This allows for fair

• 19 High School Guide | 2016-2017

comparison of scores.

What are the test dates for the Selective Enrollment High Schools test?

The Selective Enrollment High Schools exam will be offered on the following dates: November 14, 2015 December 12, 2015 January 30, 2016 November 21, 2015 January 23, 2016

Notification

When will I find out the status of my applications?

Letters of notification for district schools will be mailed to your home no later than February 26, 2016. For charter schools, contact the school to find out the school’s notification date.

Specialized Services and the Selective Enrollment High School Testing Process

The purpose of the Office of Access and Enrollment’s (OAE) Selective Enrollment High Schools entrance examination is to match students to educational programs that meet their needs. It is important that all students be afforded the opportunity to demonstrate their true level of achievement and ability. Our goal is to mitigate the effect of disabilities, to the maximum extent possible. This enables a student with a disability to be assessed on the same footing as a non- disabled peer. We do this through providing accommodations as outlined in the student’s 504 Plan or Individualized Education Program (IEP).

An accommodation is a change in the procedure for administering the assessment that reduces the effect of the disability to the maximum extent possible. For example, if the student’s IEP indicates that the student has a fine motor deficit and cannot fill in bubbles and requires that a scribe be provided to assist with the answer sheet, then we would provide for the transfer of information from the test booklet to the answer sheet through a scribe. This allows us to measure what the student knows and does not negatively impact the student’s score because the student cannot fill in the bubbles efficiently. Accommodations do not change the kind of achievement or ability being measured, but they do change how the achievement or ability is measured. The accommodation reduces any problems the student might face in accessing the test content and allows the student to demonstrate their knowledge and abilities with the material.

Accommodations are decided during the IEP or 504 Plan meeting by the IEP team (comprised of various educators, parents, specialists, and pertinent stakeholders). A physician’s medical diagnosis, independent psychological evaluations, and reports from other specialists can be used by the IEP team to support the determination of a disability and whether accommodations are necessary. These reports, however, are not sufficient, in and of themselves, to determine if a student can receive accommodations. Rather, the student must have a current IEP or 504 Plan from a public school.

What you as a parent can do when applying for Selective Enrollment High Schools:

When completing your child’s application, check yes to items that indicate your child has an IEP/504 Plan. This indication will in no way negatively impact your application. You are encouraged to sign up for testing as soon as possible. It is important that your child’s IEP or 504 Plan is current and lists the accommodations that are required for testing. Please ensure your IEP/504 team completes

20 • High School Guide | 2016-2017

the section of the IEP that lists District/State Assessment Accommodations (located in Section 10 (c) of the IEP and in Section 5(2) of the 504 Plan). Applicable accommodations listed in this section (District/State Assessment Accommodations Section 10 (c) – Testing Accommodations or 5. Accommodations and Modifications: Classroom/Testing for Section 504) are the accommodations that will be provided for Selective Enrollment testing. Below is a sample list of accommodations that you will want to discuss with your IEP/504 team to determine if these accommodations are needed to support your child during testing. This list includes some, but not all, possible accommodations.

Extended Time: Some students may need to have time limits on some tests extended to reduce the effect of slow work rate on their test performance. Those who use magnifiers, those who have attention disorders, and those who need help with word identification or reading are examples.

Individual/Small Group Administration: Students may be tested in small groups or individually; there is no minimum group size requirement for test administration. Students who need extra breaks and those who might be distracted in a classroom-testing situation might benefit from being tested in this manner.

Large-Print Edition: Students with visual impairments may benefit from the use of a large-print version of the test.

Braille Edition: Students who use Braille materials regularly with their classroom instruction may benefit from testing with the Braille version of the tests.

Communication Assistance: A test administrator who is fluent in the signing or cueing methods used by the student may need to repeat directions or certain portions of a test administration to clarify procedures for the student. Signs conveying answers to test questions should not be used, and no portion of the reading comprehension or vocabulary tests should be cued in any way.

Repeated Directions: Directions may be read aloud as many times as necessary to inform students of the proper procedures to follow in responding.

Test Read Aloud: Students with reading disabilities might need to have portions of tests or some complete tests read to them so that their reading skill does not interfere with measuring their achievement. For vocabulary and reading comprehension tests, reading the test aloud would potentially threaten the validity of the assessment and is not a permissible accommodation for these specific sections.

Answers Recorded/Scribe: An assistant or proctor may record the answers of a student on the answer sheet if the student is unable to do so as a result of the student’s disability.

Transferred Answers/Scribe: Responses recorded in test booklets or those recorded by technologically assistive devices can be transferred to the answer sheet in preparation for scoring.

Other: Accommodations noted in Section 10(c) of a student’s IEP or Section 5(2) in a student’s 504 Plan that are not included in the above list may also be used, as appropriate for the exam. School Profiles The following section provides detailed profiles for all district and charter high schools. Each profile provides a wide variety of helpful information, including a map showing the school’s location, specifics regarding the application and selection process, where to obtain the school’s application, and other school-related particulars such as in-school programs, extracurricular activities, and sports.

Additional district or charter high schools or high school programs may be approved by the Chicago Board of Education after the printing of this guide. Check www.cpsoae.org for updates.

Have questions about the scheduling process? Your answer could be here!

11. How can I use the online application process? Parents of students applying to ninth grade high school programs through the Office ofAccess and Enrollment’s centralized application processes can use the online application site to schedule Selective Enrollment High School exams, International Baccalaureate and Military Academy information sessions, and magnet auditions, as well as submit applications.

21. How do I schedule my child’s appointments? In order to access the website to begin scheduling your child’s appointments, you will first need a Personal Identification Number (PIN). CPS, charter and contract students received their PINs in Eligibility Letters distributed to their schools in September. Non-CPS students who registered to take the NWEA in October received (or will receive) their PIN approximately two weeks prior to the NWEA test date, and will be able to schedule their child’s appointment once their eligibility has been determined, based on the results of the NWEA. (If your child is a non-CPS student and has not yet registered for the NWEA MAP, contact the Office of Access and Enrollment at 773-553-2060 or [email protected] to register by December 11, 2015. Scores from the NWEA MAP are required in order to apply to schools with academic criteria: CTE-College and Career Selective Academies, International Baccalaureate Schools, Magnet High Schools, Military Academies, and Selective Enrollment High Schools.) Once you have your PIN, go to www.apply.cps.edu for next steps.

31. What if I don’t have access to the internet? Internet access is required to schedule your child’s appointment using the online application portal. CPS parents can contact their child’s school counselor to inquire about the possibility of using computers at their schools. Families can also access the internet at any . For more information and to find your nearest Chicago public library, call 311 or 312- 747-4300. Alternatively, students may submit paper applications and they will be assigned appointment times by the Office of Access and Enrollment (except for International Baccalaureate High Schools; for these schools, students who apply via paper will have to contact the school directly). Paper applications are at www.cpsoae.org (click ‘Apply and ‘Application Materials’).

41. I have more than one child who will be applying to ninth grade. Will I receive different PINs for each child? Yes. Students applying online to ninth grade each need unique PINs to tie them to their academic information, so each student will be assigned different PINs. The online application site, www.apply.cps.edu, provides step-by-step instructions to help you manage two different students under the same online account.

51. I also have a younger child that I would like to apply for elementary school options. Will I have to apply for a different PIN for my younger child? No. If you have a child who is applying to ninth grade, your younger child(ren) can use their sibling’s assigned PIN to access the application website. The online application site, www.apply.cps.edu, provides step-by-step instructions to help you add a younger sibling to your child’s account.

61. Once I schedule the admissions screenings, will my child’s application be complete? NO. “Scheduling” and “Applying” are two different things! You must ensure that your child both schedules and attends his/her appointments AND also completes an application. The online application site, www.apply.cps.edu displays the status of each step to guide you in completing these steps successfully.

71. Why should I use the online application site? There are many great incentives for using the online process. You can schedule appointments that work best with your calendar. If your schedule changes, you will be able to reschedule yourself (the online site will remain accessible after the December deadline for rescheudling ONLY). If you lose your confirmation form for an appointment, you can log back on to print another copy. After you schedule your appointment(s), you can apply from the same website.

81. If my child takes his Selective Enrollment High School exam early, he will receive his test results early? Yes. All students who take the Selective Enrollment High School exam in November will receive their exam results before the application deadline in December. This will allow students to know their final total point score before they select and rank their Selective Enrollment High School options and submit their application. Still have questions?

Office of Education Options Options Schools

Options Schools are designed to meet the needs of students who have been out of school or have fallen behind and need a second chance to finish high school. Options campuses generally offer additional supports such as child care, counseling, and/or flexible schedules for students who work during the traditional school day. The two main goals of these schools are to help students earn a high school diploma and become college- and career-ready. CPS has expanded the Options Schools to serve more than 11,000 youth. Most Options Schools serve students ages 16-21.

There are many factors that influence a student’s decision to leave school; however, CPS is committed to providing an appropriate learning environment for all students. By offering Options Schools, CPS is better able to ensure that the needs of all students are met

SOAR Centers CPS offers Student Outreach and Re-engagement (SOAR) Centers to proactively find out-of-school youth and student at risk of dropping out. SOAR staff is available to help parents and students navigate the Options Schools system and guide them through the enrollment process. Services provided through SOAR include outreach to out-of-school youth and chronically truant youth; enrollment assistance; training to prepare students for reentry; and monitoring support for students after they enroll. In addition, students are provided with graduation plans, opportunity to earn service learning hours and credit recovery if school placement is not readily available.

Safe Program Another initiative from the Office of Education Options is the Safe Program, which provides educational opportunities to students who have been removed from their home schools for reasons related to misconduct. The Safe Program allows students to continue their education and receive additional support for behavior issues. Benefits of the Safe Program include specialized curriculum, smaller teacher-student ratios, support services, and transitional services. Please note that students cannot apply for these programs. Students can only become a part of the Safe Program through referral from Student Adjudication.

The Options Schools can be found on the pages that follow. For additional information, or for support in enrolling a student in an Options School, contact the Office of Education Options at (773) 535-8500.

• 195 High School Guide | 2016-2017

Glossary

The following provides a brief overview of the types of schools and programs available. The list includes within-school programs (e.g., AP, CTE), in which you can participate once you are enrolled in a school. Advanced Placement Advanced Placement (AP) is a curriculum in the United States and Canada sponsored by the College Board which offers standardized high school courses that are generally recognized to be equivalent to undergraduate courses in college. Participating colleges grant credit to students who obtained high enough scores on the exams to qualify. Students enrolled in AP courses engage in intense discussions, solve problems collaboratively, and learn to write clearly and persuasively. AP is a within-school program; students can take advantage of this program after they are enrolled in a school.

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) Students take academically rigorous courses and an elective called AVID, where they receive tutoring, improve their self-image, develop critical thinking and organizational skills, and become leaders and role models for other students. AVID is a within-school program; students can take advantage of this program after they are enrolled in a school.

Career Academies Career Academies offer intensified resources that provide students with hands-on experiences and the opportunity to visit local businesses and shadow business professionals in various career areas.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) Academies CTE Academies feature a unique approach to prepare students for college and career success. While in high school, in addition to the CPS graduation requirements, students participating in a CTE Academy experience hands-on training in their chosen industry. Students participating in CTE Academies may have the opportunity to earn college credit, attain industry-recognized certifications, and participate in job shadows and internships. CTE Academies make their seats available to students city-wide.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) Programs CTE Programs feature a unique approach to prepare students for college and career success. While in high school, in addition to the CPS graduation requirements, students participating in a CTE Program experience hands-on training in their chosen industry. Students participating in CTE Programs may have the opportunity to earn college credit, attain industry-recognized certifications, and participate in job shadows and internships. High school students can take advantage of CTE Programs once they have enrolled in a school.

Charter Schools Charter schools are independently operated schools that are authorized by CPS or the State Charter School Commission under Illinois Charter Schools Law. The schools authorized by CPS are funded and monitored by the Chicago Public Schools district, but can exercise autonomy over many student-related policies. Charter schools are governed by school-selected Boards of Directors and operate under contractual agreements with the authorizing entity; typically, these contracts are for five-year terms.

Contract Schools Contract schools are district schools that are managed by external operators. These schools are funded and monitored by the district and must adhere to all student-related district policies. Contract schools are governed by school-selected Boards of Directors and operate under contractual agreements with the district; typically, these contracts are for five-year terms.

196 • High School Guide | 2016-2017

Dual Enrollment Through Dual Enrollment, students take college courses while in high school, earning both high school and college credit. Participation in Dual Enrollment may ease students’ transition from high school to college and save college costs, as course costs are covered by the students’ high school. Dual Enrollment is a within-school program; students can take advantage of the program once they are enrolled in a school.

Early College STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering, Math] Schools (ECSS) The ECSS connects high school, college, and the world of work through dynamic partnerships and a new vision for college and career readiness. Partnerships allow students to pursue a career in technology and gain skills for the 21st century workforce; students have the opportunity to graduate with industry certifications and up to two years of college credit. In addition, students benefit from workplace learning experiences through internships, and they are matched with professional mentors in their career path so that they gain valuable knowledge and experience.

Fine and Performing Arts Programs These programs encourage students’ creative and artistic expression, and develop their interest in art, music, dance, and/or drama. Faculty and students work with some of the city’s premier arts institutions and artists, both in the schools and throughout the city.

General Education Schools that fall in this category offer a curriculum of general education that includes a wide variety of subject areas, including the core subjects of English/language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, and may also include world language, art, music, and physical education. The general education program does not specialize in one particular area of the curriculum.

International Baccalaureate (IB) High Schools The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end, the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment. These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

CPS currently offers the following IB programs: 1. IB Middle Years Programme (MYP): The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme provides a flexible curriculum framework suitable to meet the needs of all students. At the high school level, the MYP is offered to grades 9 and 10. The MYP model places the learner at the center. This underscores IB’s belief in educating the whole person, and the central importance of student inquiry. 2. IB Diploma Programme (DP): The IB Diploma Programme is a comprehensive and challenging pre-university program for academically motivated students in grades 11 and 12. The Diploma Programme is widely recognized for its high academic standards and the impressive success of its graduates in colleges and universities around the world. IB Diploma Programme graduates enter the world culturally and internationally aware, open-minded, and confident in a language other than English.

• 197 High School Guide | 2016-2017

IB Diploma Programme students study six subjects, thus ensuring breadth of experience in language and literature, world language, social studies, science, mathematics and the arts. In addition, the program has three core requirements that are included to broaden students’ educational experience while also challenging students to apply their knowledge and understanding. In addition, the program has three core requirements that are included to broaden students’ educational experience while also challenging students to apply their knowledge and understanding, including: o The Extended Essay is a requirement for students to engage in independent research through an in-depth study of a question relating to one of the subjects they are studying. o Theory of Knowledge is a course designed to encourage each student to reflect on the nature of knowledge by critically examining different ways of knowing (perception, emotion, language and reason) and different kinds of knowledge (scientific, artistic, mathematical and historical). o Creativity, Action, Service requires that students actively learn from the experience of doing real tasks beyond the classroom. Students can combine all three components or do activities related to each one of them separately. 3. IB Career-related Programme (IBCP): The IBCP is designed for students in grades 11 and 12. It incorporates the educational principles, vision, and learner profile for IB into a unique offering that specifically addresses the needs of students who wish to engage in career-related education. The IBCP encourages these students to benefit from elements of an IB education through a selection of two or more Diploma Programme courses in addition to a unique IBCP core, comprised of an “Approaches to Learning” course, language development, a reflective project, and community and service. Students apply to be in the IBCP once they are enrolled in the school.

Magnet Schools Magnet High Schools (with the exception of Curie Metropolitan High School) do not have neighborhood attendance boundaries, accept students from throughout the city, and offer one or more specialty programs. Magnet High Schools have minimum eligibility requirements in order for students to apply.

Military Academies The Military Academies are unique four-year high schools that prepare students for college and subsequent careers. Although students wear uniforms and operate in a structured environment, these schools are not intended to prepare students for the military. Rather, students take part in unprecedented leadership opportunities and co-curricular activities, including college trips and citywide competitions, in a nurturing, safe, and healthy environment in which they can realize their full potential. Visit www.ChicagoJROTC.com to view videos, see testimonials, and learn more about these schools.

Military Academies Within a School Military Academies Within a School offer all the benefits of a traditional Military Academy education – a safe, supportive environment with unique leadership opportunities and co-curricular activities – within a neighborhood high school. Cadets in a Military Academy Within a School wear a uniform every day and take all of their classes with their fellow Academy cadets. Military Academies Within a School accept applicants from outside the school’s attendance boundary. Visit www.ChicagoJROTC. com to view videos, see testimonials, and learn more about the Academies Within a School.

One Goal One Goal aims to make college graduation possible for all students. The organization identifies, trains and supports teachers to lead underperforming high school students to reach their full potential. It serves students in high schools in Chicago and Houston.

Project Lead The Way Project Lead The Way (PLTW) provides rigorous and innovative science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education programs for middle and high schools across the U.S. It provides curriculum, software, and professional development to participating schools and engages students in hands-on, problem-based classroom experiences. PLTW students create, design, build, discover, collaborate, and solve problems while applying what they learn in math and science, and are exposed to STEM fields through professionals from local industries.

School Performance The School Performance information provided on the school profiles is derived from the following sources of information:

PSAE: The Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE) is administered each spring in Illinois to high school juniors (11th grade). Each profile provides school-level results from 2014, indicating the percent of students who met or exceeded state standards, combining PSAE scores for reading, mathematics and science (“composite score”). The highest possible score is 99%.

200 • High School Guide | 2016-2017

ACT: The ACT is a standardized test for high school achievement and college admissions in the United States produced by ACT, Inc. (originally American College Testing). It includes English, mathematics, reading, and science. It is administered in Illinois as part of the PSAE. Each profile provides the average score received by students in 11th grade at the school in spring 2014. Graduation Rate: The CPS “five-year cohort graduation rate” follows a group of students who enter the Chicago Public Schools as freshmen and calculates the percent of these students who graduate within five years after their freshman year. For example, the 2009 rate tracks ninth grade students who started in CPS in the 2004-2005 school year and graduated from CPS by August of the 2008-2009 school year. The rate is calculated by dividing the number of students from an adjusted ninth grade cohort who graduated over the five-year time period by the total number of students in that cohort. The graduation rate provided in the profiles in this guide is the 2014 rate. College Enrollment: The CPS college enrollment rate is calculated using data acquired from the National Student Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse is a not-for-profit corporation that serves as a national, central depository of information on postsecondary student enrollment, degrees, and diplomas. The college enrollment rate is the percent of CPS graduates who enrolled in college by November 1st of that same year – the standard timeframe used to calculate national college enrollment statistics. The information provided in the profiles in this guide is the 2013 rate.

Selective Enrollment High Schools Selective Enrollment High Schools provide academically advanced high school students with a challenging and enriched college preparatory experience. Each of the Selective Enrollment High Schools offers a rigorous curriculum with mainly honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The schools strive to develop students’ critical and analytical thinking skills, and promote diverse academic inquiry by bringing together students from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.

Small Schools With total enrollments of 500 students or less, small schools offer intimate and personalized learning environments. These schools serve as vehicles for teachers, students, parents, and other school community members to implement strategies that are specifically designed to serve the needs of their populations. In addition, the small size facilitates the ability of teachers to work together to design educational programs and to create a cohesive vision.

World Language and International Studies Program World Language and International Studies is an academically enhanced program at Morgan Park High School. The program emphasizes fluency in a world language, along with the development of international communication skills and understanding. All coursework is taken on an honors or Advanced Placement level. Students take four years of the same world language (French or Spanish are offered), four years of social studies, and a minimum of two Advanced Placement courses.
