In response to the recent Sun-Times article detailing the continued enrollment decline at Chicago Public Schools over the last decade, we wrote Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez to highlight that we are experiencing the opposite situation on the Southwest Side. Enrollment numbers in our local schools are increasing.
One of our top priorities is providing strong educational opportunities for students in our community. We have worked hard to close the equity gap between the schools on the North and South Sides of Chicago. Some of our students are currently on a waitlist for our exceptional schools and programs.
