Chicago Public Schools Releases School Ratings for the 2019-20 School Year
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Friday, November 8, 2019
CHICAGO – Chicago Public Schools (CPS) today released its School Quality Rating Policy (SQRP) results for 2019-20, which show a similar percentage of schools achieving the three highest school ratings compared to last year. For the 2019-20 school year, 78 percent of schools earned the three highest ratings, compared to 80 percent of schools last year and only 68 percent of schools when SQRP began in 2014-15.While data trends demonstrate steady and sustained school improvement, the district will continue to prioritize academic supports and resources, including the district’s first-of-its-kind Curriculum Equity Initiative to ensure all schools and teachers have access to the same high quality instructional materials.
“Our annual school ratings provide parents and families with access to data through a consistent and transparent metric that families recognize,” said CPS CEO Dr.
Janice K. Jackson. “We will continue to invest in academic supports and initiatives to ensure students have the support they need to build upon the district’s academic success.”
School Quality Ratings:
SQRP provides parents and families with a transparent and easy-to-use overview of school quality. The rating includes an analysis of a comprehensive set of data including student growth, performance, school culture and climate, graduation rates, and progress among priority student groups, among other criteria. SQRP data also allows the district to uniformly assess where schools may need additional supports.
SQRP utilizes a holistic set of factors beyond traditional academic attainment performance metrics, such as community and parent surveys, college enrollment and persistence at the high school level, and a focus on test score improvement rather than attainment.
In June 2019, the Chicago Board of Education approved a new SQRP policy for next school year that was created after two years of extensive principal and educator engagement.
The new policy will make several key changes, including adding the district’s Learn.Plan.Succeed. initiative at the high school level, reducing the weight of attendance for elementary schools, and adding the 3-8 OnTrack metric, which is a leading indicator for high school success that will help elementary schools better prepare students for high school. Going forward, CPS will embark on a listening tour to engage key internal and external stakeholders to continually improve SQRP.
“The district is considered a national innovator in school quality for its focus on both academic and holistic factors and equitable outcomes,” said CPS Chief Education Officer LaTanya D. McDade. “We will continue to engage in robust stakeholder engagement to strengthen future policy and ensure SQRP serves as the strongest and most useful school rating system for our educators and families.”
School Standing Status
Based on the SQRP ratings, the percentage of district-run schools in good standing has remained steady compared to last year, and the number of schools on intensive support decreased to the lowest number of schools since SQRP was adopted, with 7 percent of district schools moving to a higher accountability tier.
Based on the accountability policy:
- 395 schools are in good standing;
- 69 schools will receive provisional support; and
- 55 schools will receive intensive support.
By differentiating levels of school standing, CPS can group schools based on supports needed to cultivate success. Schools in good standing are granted greater autonomy on school improvement planning and school budgets to encourage the positive achievement they have demonstrated. Schools receiving provisional support benefit from additional resources to propel them in the right direction, potentially including the development of a new school improvement plan and professional development. And schools receiving intensive support, which represents the schools most in need of supplemental support and oversight, receive more substantial interventions to rapidly improve educational quality.
Performance Rating Breakdowns
CPS uses five performance ratings to measure a school’s rating: Levels 1+, 1, and 2+ (Good Standing), Level 2 (Provisional Support), and Level 3 (Intensive Support).
Ratings released today show the district is now home to:
- 146 Level 1+ schools;
- 195 Level 1 schools;
- 158 Level 2+ schools;
- 130 Level 2 schools; and
- 8 Level 3 schools.
A comparison to last year’s ratings shows a slight decrease of schools rated in the three highest tiers, a decrease in the number of Level 1+ schools, and increase in the number of Level 1 and Level 2 schools. While each school’s individual circumstances differ, some trends emerged among rating changes:
- Some elementary schools did not meet growth norms for NWEA scores, even as students’ actual scores for the district overall rose in math and reading.
- While PSAT/SAT attainment remained fairly stable, high school growth was not as strong as last year, particularly for 10th and 11th grades.
In order to improve upon these areas, CPS has adopted a variety of strategies to encourage continued academic progress, such as the Curriculum Equity Initiative, providing targeted supports to the highest-needs schools, and emphasizing data analysis to help school leaders better understand and address student performance.
- Curriculum Equity Initiative: The Curriculum Equity Initiative will create a standards-aligned, culturally relevant library of teacher resources to ensure that students in every part of Chicago can benefit from a high-quality curriculum and instructional resources.
- Largest-Ever Program Expansion: To build on the record-setting academic progress being made in Chicago schools, the district awarded new academic programs to benefit nearly 17,000 CPS students at 32 schools across the city as part of the largest-ever program expansion in district schools.
Charter Warning List
As part of today’s school ratings release, CPS also updated its charter Warning List to identify charter schools that need to make significant improvements to remain in good standing and continue operating in the district. The following four charter schools have been placed on the 2019-20 Warning List based on their performance last year:
- CICS – Ellison
- CICS – Longwood
- LEARN – 7
- Urban Prep – Englewood
Based on the charter accountability policy that the Board of Education passed in 2015, the following three schools could be considered for closure as a result of their status on the Warning List last year and their performance in previous years:
- Chicago Virtual Charter School (charter school eligible for revocation)
- Chicago Collegiate (charter school eligible for revocation)
- Frazier Charter School (charter school eligible for revocation)
CPS is closely evaluating the performance record for each of the three schools that are eligible for closure and will make a recommendation in the coming weeks to the Board of Education regarding the future status of each school.
Chicago Public Schools serves 355,156 students in 642 schools. It is the nation’s third-largest school district.

Chicago poised to end controversial school ratings system

Chicago says it will no longer assign numbers to schools to rate quality — and it will suspend its existing rating system another year to figure out a new approach.
Stacey Rupolo / Chalkbeat
Chicago will suspend its controversial school ratings for the third year and give itself more time to design a new campus accountability system.
But the new approach likely will no longer involve a number or letter grade for each campus — a practice that educators, principals, and others have decried as reducing a school’s offerings and often complex challenges to a single designation.
Officials said Wednesday that the district’s leadership transition over the summer and the singular focus on safely reopening schools this fall delayed a push to redesign Chicago’s school accountability model, known as School Quality Rating System, or SQRP. So the district is extending an April deadline to unveil a new policy until spring of 2023 at the latest.
In April, the district is slated to vote on a resolution spelling out broad outlines of the new system that has been in the works since early 2020. Those will likely include doing away with the current practice of assigning a number to each school in a bid to telegraph quality quickly to parents.
“The idea of one summative designation is something we’ve heard almost unanimously from our stakeholders has been a negative experience,” said Jeff Broom, the district’s director of school quality research and measurement, who addressed the school board during its Wednesday meeting. “It has been more punitive than informative.
”
The district’s policy has been under fire from the teachers union and others who have argued it weighs test scores too heavily and penalizes schools that serve high-need student populations. The number designations in particular have contributed to a vicious cycle for some schools on the city’s South and West sides, critics have said: Low numbers turn off prospective parents, hampering schools from buttressing their enrollments and thus their ability to boost their academic offerings and draw more families.
Over the past year, the district has held community town halls and a family survey to get feedback on the overhaul. But CEO Pedro Martinez’ arrival in early fall and the push to reopen schools for full-time in-person learning put the process on hold for almost six months.
“We decided as a district this (process) is too important to rush and get something half-baked in,” Broom said.
The school board voted this past summer not to renew a contract with the nonprofit NWEA to administer the Measures of Academic Progress on all campuses — the math and reading assessment the district used to rate its schools.
Schools can now choose between two new optional sets of standardized tests, making unclear what role, if any, math and reading proficiency and growth scores will play in the new accountability model.
School board members, who will ultimately approve the redesigned evaluation system, backed the idea of giving the district extra time to craft a new approach. Some said they were glad to hear the committee tasked with leading the process is planning to scrap the single ratings.
“The board charge was never to create a new SQRP,” said member Elizabeth Todd-Breland. “It was to reimagine accountability.”
Board member Lucino Sotelo also urged the district not to lose sight of the ways in which the current accountability system offered families key information about campuses as they navigate the school choice decisions.
“Let’s not forget the components that worked well,” he said, “while making it easy to understand yet equitable.”

Chicago School of Sociology
Characteristics of the Chicago School
The Chicago School of Sociology emerged as the result of an initiative of sociologists who worked at the university of the same name. The school began its work in the first half of the 20th century, earning a huge amount of admiring reviews in a short period of time.
Note 1
Within the school, it was especially popular to use a variety of quantitative research methods, as well as following a strict methodology for data analysis. Emphasis was placed on issues that stood out within a relatively new current – the sociology of the city.
The emergence of the Chicago School was due to the fact that the population of American cities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries began to grow noticeably. In this regard, the city of Chicago itself from a small settlement turned into a city with a population of more than 3.
5 million people. Thus, the sociology of the city appeared, the main purpose of which was to study the structural specifics of the population, as well as the motives of a person to leave their settlement and move to urban districts.
Sociologists of the Chicago School carried out numerous studies on the migration process, which affected the social structure of the urban population. They also studied how urban ethnic ghettos are formed, how they coexist with the rest of the population, what problem areas stand out, and how they can be resolved so that the population does not experience any oppression. William Thomas and Florian Znaniecki were among the first to conduct research based on the ideas of social psychology. They analyzed the processes of displacement and subsequent adaptation of Polish immigrant peasants in the new environment of urban American cities, which were growing due to settlers and immigrants not only from other states, but also from other countries and continents.
Note 2
The same authors introduced a new concept – social disorganization. It should be understood as a gradual process of weakening the influence of already existing rules and norms of behavior on individual citizens, or on entire categories of citizens.
Thus, those who feel complete freedom of their own actions appear in society, and these people have the right to choose whether to follow the old norms or create new norms that will suit them in accordance with their interests and needs. The Chicago school was one of the first to turn its attention to the phenomenon of urban spatial segregation, when within the same city or agglomeration there are a huge number of subgroups, communities, categories of the population that do not correspond to generally accepted norms, but rather are focused on their own interests and norms, as a result of which they simply do not fit into the generally accepted environment.
Representatives of the Chicago School
Of course, only through consideration of the ideas of the main representatives of the Chicago School can one fully realize what is the essence of this school and its most basic features.
The activities of the school can be best described through the ideas of the big four researchers who have made the greatest contribution to its development – these are:
- A. Small,
- J. Vincent,
- C. Henderson,
- W. Thomas.
Thanks to their developments, the Chicago School of Sociology ideally combined a number of empirical studies with theoretical justifications, as well as various qualitative and quantitative approaches and methods that made it possible to confirm or refute all possible hypotheses.
The study of the development of social activity played an important role in the activities of the Chicago School. The school put forward ideas for the practical effective resolution of various social problems that arose just in connection with the very active processes of urbanization and industrialization. These issues include the following:0005
- Unemployment
- Poverty
- Antisocial, deviant behavior and crime.
Social workers, who stepped up their activities in the 20-30s of the 20th century, were mostly engaged in solving the social problems of production. Through research, they were able to prevent conflicts, calculate social risks, and offer solutions to the most common labor disputes. Thanks to this, working conditions gradually improved, and personnel stabilized.
Of course, once again within the framework of this article devoted to the Chicago School of Sociology, it is worth highlighting the joint work of W. Thomas and F. Znaniecki, who identified completely new problems of modern sociology, mainly how and in what way migrants decide to move, what motives drive them and what problems they face. This allows not only to be aware of possible ways to resolve these problems, but also to assess immigrant interests in general.
Social-ecological theory is the third area to which the Chicago School paid great attention. The main actors in the development of this theory were R.
Park and E. Burgess. The main elements of this theory were social mobility, the social and economic status of the individual, as well as the category of “marginal personality”. All aspects that affect the life of a person, the norms and values that he follows, as well as what results in life they can lead to were analyzed. A person may receive a certain social status, may already be born with it and do everything possible to maintain his status. But there are also those who lose their status, turn into an unemployed, marginal person who needs help from the public. Sociology, on the other hand, studies the main causes of such a state, as well as its consequences, primarily the consequences for a person’s personality. Thus, within the framework of the Chicago School, researchers pose new problems, put forward new theoretical and empirical grounds for their study and subsequent resolution.
Chicago School of Sociology. The main representatives and activities.
Robert Park – Founder of the Chicago School of Sociology (functioning from 1915 to 1934).
This school set the tone for all theoretical discussions and determined the direction of empirical research.
This school included American scientists – Burgess (1886 – 1966), Wirth (1897 – 1952), Mackenzie, Zorbo, Andersen, Faris, Thrasher, Cottrell, Hughes. They are united by a socio-ecological approach and research topics.
The socio-ecological approach is disclosed in Park’s articles “Human Ecology”, “Physics and Society”, Urban Community as a Spatial Configuration and Moral Order” and Mackenzie’s works “An Ecological Approach to the Study of the Human Community”, “The Field of Human Ecology”, “The Concept domination and organization of the world. The bottom line: human society should be studied in relation to its environment, in the study of the social life of people, some general ecological principles developed in plant and animal ecology can be applied. It was believed that the same principles that determine the life of the plant and animal world were applied to human society: each social formation is somehow located in the physical environment, localized and configured in space, which makes man related to plants and animals.
The level of existence at which the same ecological principles of flora and fauna apply to human society is called biotic. Humans function as separate living organisms, moving through space and bound by bonds of interdependence. Organizes people competition for certain resources. People occupy certain niches, on the basis of an elementary division of labor between them, an integral territorially fixed unit is formed – a community in which living organisms are elements.
A cultural level is built up above the biotic level – here people abstract from the aspects of existence as animal organisms, and begin active interaction on the basis of communication. Cultural level – the level of customs, norms, values, the main thing here is the collective (corporate) action. Fundamental to collective action is the principle of cooperation.
The community, the ecological distribution of people and services, in which the location of each unit is determined by its relationship to all other units, was chosen as the unit of analysis.
They focused on the study of social problems that take place in urban communities. Studied the population of Chicago. It was believed that social problems are the problems of the city. The city is a social laboratory in which human nature and civilization can be thoroughly studied. Should be studied as spatial configuration and moral order. Zoning was proposed as a general scheme for its study. On its basis, a concentric model of urban areas was developed (described in Burgess’ article “The Growth of the City: An Introduction to a Research Project”). According to this model, the city is divided into 4 zones. The territorial structure is associated with the ecological distribution and segregation of various activities, it acts as a portrait of society.
Natural areas were distinguished – delimited from the environment and internally homogeneous areas. In 1923-1924, Burgess developed the Social Research Map of Chicago.
On the basis of urban studies published monographs: Tramp (Andersen), gang (thrasher), ghetto (Virta), Negro family in Chicago (Freezer), golden coast of the slum (Zorbo).
Many studies have been devoted to the media, the phenomenon of marginality and other social problems: crime, poverty, mental disorders, suicide, deviant behavior among young people, vagrancy, weakening family solidarity, problems of immigrant communities.
The most important contribution is the development of procedures for studying the city, the theoretical analysis of urban structures, process and lifestyle.
Since the mid-1930s, the decline of the Chicago School. Reasons:
1. American sociologists began to pay attention to the scientific nature of their research, which resulted in the desire to use complex technical procedures based on the analysis of statistical data. The Chicago School, on the other hand, was based on the subjective ideas of people.
2. More and more sociologists expressed indignation at the dominance of the Chicago School. As opposed to at 1930g. the Eastern Sociological Society was founded and a new official journal, the American Sociological Review, was established.
The following from the answers of other groups is just for information for which a certain decline of sociology at the Chicago School took place – the jealousy of sociologists from other universities for their position. An Ivy League was formed, which included representatives from other universities of sociological science. At the first stage, journalistic and anthropological research models were combined. On the second (from the beginning of 1940s to 1960s) The Chicago school developed participant observation as a special technique. It applied an extended anthropological model in relation to groups and environments in the society in which the researcher himself lived. Three principles emerged: to study people in their natural environment or situation; study people through direct interaction with them: achieve an understanding of the social world and draw theoretical conclusions about the perspectives of group members.
