Chicago: Report says 1 of 4 African-American students stuck in subpar schools
/One in every four African-American students in Chicago Public Schools attends a “failing” school, according to a new analysis that puts the number for Hispanic students at two in 25, and for white students, two in 100.
That’s according to a new analysis published Monday by the education advocacy group New Schools for Chicago, which also says about one in every five schools overall isn’t fulfilling the promise of a quality education. New Schools, previously known for charter school advocacy, took a two-year average of the scores, such as test scores and attendance, that CPS uses to rate its schools from Level 1+ at the top down to Level 3.
