Chicago Collegiate Charter School

Summary:

Chicago Collegiate Charter School is a public charter high school serving grades 5-12 in the Chicago Public Schools District 299, with 256 students located on the South Side of Chicago. Despite significant per-student funding, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Illinois high schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's key metrics raise significant concerns. Its 4-year graduation rates have declined from 89.3% in 2022-2023 to 71.4% in 2023-2024, lagging behind nearby high schools like Morgan Park High School (83.7%) and Brooks College Prep Academy (91.4%). Additionally, 0% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Math and English, compared to 18.6% and 22.4% respectively for the district. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 71.6% in 2023-2024, much higher than the district average of 30.5% and the state average of 41.2%.

These performance gaps have been widening over the past few years, and the school's struggles are particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Illinois high schools for both female and male students, as well as low-income students. Despite the significant per-student funding, the school is still underperforming, raising questions about the effective use of resources and the strategies in place to support student success. Addressing these challenges will be critical for Chicago Collegiate Charter School to improve student outcomes and provide a quality education to its high-need student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
