Where This Data Comes From

College Enrollment

The % of students who graduated from CPS in the previous year and enrolled in a 2-year or 4-year college in the fall or spring after graduation.

College Persistence

The % of those students who remain enrolled in college the following fall or spring.

Why This Matters

These measures show whether students are not only getting into college, but also continuing their studies. They reflect how well schools are preparing students for success after graduation through strong academics, counseling, and support programs.
