| School Level | Level 1+ |
| This is the rating the school district gives to a school about how well they are performing. From highest performing to lowest performing, the possible levels are: Level 1+, Level 1, Level 2+, Level 2, and Level 3. |
| Freshman On Track | 93% |
| This is the percentage of the last 9th grade class that, based on their grades and attendance in 9th grade, is on track to graduate. Whether or not a student is on track during their freshman year is the biggest indicator of whether or not they will graduate from high school on time! |
| Average SAT Score | 1,026 |
| The SAT is a standardized test for high school achievement and college admissions that students take during their 11th grade year. This piece of information averages together the scores of the last 11th grade class at a school. The CPS average is 951. |
| Graduation Rates | 88% |
| This is the percentage of a group of students at a school that graduated within five years. The average in CPS is 69.9%. |
| College Enrollment Rates | 80% |
| College Readiness | 67% |
| This is the percentage of students at a school that scored at least a 21 on the ACT, which demonstrates a higher level of readiness to take college level courses. |
|
| Student Mobility | 3% |
| The percentage of students that transfer in or out of the school during the school year. A higher percentage means that there are more students coming and going. Though it doesn’t tell us why students are transferring in and out, we can imagine that it could feel a little unstable if this is a high percentage. |
| Student Attendance | 94% |
| This is the average daily attendance at the school – on average, what percent of all the students enrolled at the school are in attendance. We don’t know why students may not be attending the school, but if this is a low number it is likely that teachers may have to spend more time reviewing material that absent students miss, making it harder to move forward in a class. |
| Teacher Attendance | 91% |
| This is the average daily attendance of teachers at the school – on average, what percent of all the teachers employed at the school are in attendance. As a student, it could be more challenging to make academic progress if you regularly have substitutes or don’t get to build a relationship with the teacher. |

| Application Requirements | Students are selected through a computerized lottery. The rst 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. Sibling preference will only be given if the application indicates that the student is applying as a sibling, and this information has been verified.
After the siblings are accommodated, the next 40% of the available seats are designated for students who live within the school’s proximity (a 2.5 mile radius of the school). After the proximity students are accommodated, the remaining seats are distributed evenly among the four tiers, and the seats are filled by computerized lottery. |
| Selections | Minimum percentile of 24 in both reading and math on NWEA MAP.
IEP and EL students: Minimum combined percentile of 48 in reading and math on NWEA MAP.
