Chicago Public Schools (CPS), officially classified as City of Chicago School District #299 for funding and districting reasons,[5] in Chicago, Illinois, is the fourth-largest[6] school district in the United States, after New York, Los Angeles, and Miami-Dade County. For the 2023–24 school year, CPS reported overseeing 634 schools, including 477 elementary schools and 157 high schools; of which 514 were district-run, 111 were charter schools, 7 were contract schools and 2 were SAFE schools.[3] The district serves 323,251 students. Chicago Public School students attend a particular school based on their area of residence, except for charter, magnet, and selective enrollment schools.[3]
The school system reported a graduation rate of 84% for the 2022-23 school year.[7] Unlike most school systems, CPS calls the position of superintendent the "Chief Executive Officer", but there is no material difference in responsibilities or reporting from what is traditionally considered a superintendent. CPS reported a student–teacher ratio of 15.84 for the 2019–20 school year.[4] For the 2020–21 school year, 46.7% of CPS students were Latino and 35.8% were African-American.[8] 63.8% of the student body came from economically-disadvantaged households, and 18.6% of students were reported as English-language learners.[8] Average salaries for the 2019-20 year were $74,225 for teachers and $114,199 for administrators.[5] For the 2020–21 school year, CPS reported 39,323 staff positions, including 21,974 teachers and 516 principals.[8] In 2021, CPS reported a budget of $6.92 billion with $3.75 billion from local sources, $1.85 billion from the State of Illinois and $1.3 billion from the U.S. Federal Government.[8] Per student spending was reported at $18,287 in 2023.[5]
Chicago Public Schools led the nation in test score improvement, learned at a faster rate compared to 96% of all school districts in the country, and as of 2020, had an all-time high graduation rate.[9][10][11] It has faced declining enrollments and school closings. More than 80 percent of CPS students are Hispanic or Black.
