Annual Regional Analysis
2024-25
About the ARA
The Annual Regional Analysis (ARA) is a collection of reports that provide information about Chicago Public Schools. These reports include details about student enrollment, district demographics, school quality, school choice, and academic program offerings. The purpose of these reports is to help CPS leaders and members of the community better understand schools in the communities they serve and live.
The reports present CPS data in one place, without making recommendations or suggestions for action. This helps ensure that everyone can have an open and honest conversation about how to improve local schools. By using these reports, the district and communities can have more productive conversations about the needs of local schools and how to make improvements.
