To further transparency, Chicago Public Schools is making available the preliminary socio-economic and racial diversity data regarding 2010-11 admissions in the District’s selective enrollment and magnet schools.  The numbers are based on the one-year policy that was approved by the Chicago Board of Education late last year. The policy, which uses socio-economic variables instead of race as a factor in admissions, was established after a federal court judge vacated a longstanding desegregation consent decree last fall.

The press release on this subject can be found here.

The high school school-by-school preliminary data can be  found here.

The data for GEAP elementary programs can be  viewed here.

The rest of the data for elementary schools on a school-by-school level will be available soon.
