A Note on Available Performance Metrics
CPS is currently transitioning to the new Continuous Improvement and Data Transparency policy. This policy replaces the district's previous School Quality Rating Policy (SQRP).
Once implemented, additional metrics will be published that offer a holistic perspective on student, school, and district performance. To learn more about the district's accountability redesign efforts or the updated policy, visit Continuous Improvement and Data Transparency.
