Where This Data Comes From
- Student enrollment records at the end of each school year
- Students who stay within CPS—not those who transfer to another school district
Why This Matters
Staying in school is critical to students’ success. Dropping out reduces the likelihood of graduation and future opportunities for college, careers, and long-term success. Because Options schools serve students who often move between schools or face unique challenges, it’s important that they help students stay engaged and find their next "best fit" if they decide to transfer.
What It Can & Cannot Tell You
It Can Tell You:
- Can show whether students are staying in school or earning their diploma.
- Can highlight when schools need more resources and interventions to help students stay engaged.
- Can point to dropout patterns across groups of students.
It Cannot Tell You:
- Cannot explain why students leave—common reasons include health, work responsibilities, transportation challenges, or family needs.
- Cannot be used alone to judge school quality, since many factors beyond the classroom affect whether students stay enrolled.
