CPS High School and Academic Cut Scores for the 2022-23 School Year

‘Tis the season once again for high school admissions in Chicago. 

The CPS Office of Access and Enrollment released High School Round 1 results on Friday, March 18. 

CPS recently announced that they have extended the Round 1 decision deadline to Monday, April 4 at 5 PM CT. 

CPS has announced upcoming changes to the selective enrollment admissions process for the 2023-24 academic year to attempt to address some of the deep challenges of inequality currently built into the Selective Enrollment process. Those changes are not being applied to the current round of high school admissions for the 2022-23 school year.

You can find a rather extensive list of links to CPS High School enrollment resource pages here, including the cut scores, which we are also sharing below.

High School Choice Cut Scores

The “Choice” schools and programs include International Baccalaureate programs, art schools and programs (including ChiArts), medical and health careers, the “pre-” programs (pre-engineering and pre-law) and military-themed high schools and programs.

Selective Enrollment High School Cut Scores

We will continue watching as CPS implements the changes to the selective enrollment process next year.
