School Overview

Muchin College Prep opened in August of 2009 on the 7th floor of a high-rise building downtown. We have consistently ranked among the top 10 highest performing non-selective high schools in Chicago. Our scholars come to Muchin from more than 50 zip codes across Chicago and commute primarily by public transportation to our downtown campus. In addition, our diverse staff represents every region in the US and eight countries outside the US, and includes 15+ year veterans, Ivy League graduates, and NCAA athletes. Our scholars engage in a rigorous curriculum that prepares them for success in college and beyond. In addition to our rigorous curriculum, we focus on character education. We leverage our unique location to provide a variety of opportunities for our scholars to interact with professionals through internships, youth employment, and enriching activities. Since opening, 100% of our scholars have been accepted to two- and four-year colleges and universities. Now in our ninth year of operation, our founding class has seen its first college graduates! We have more than 67% of our first-generation college scholars on track to graduate - outpacing the CPS college completion average.
