THE ARTS IN CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Geography
There are also important insights to be gained by looking at how
schools’ ratings—and how the changes in these ratings—are distributed
geographically across the district. The top two maps on the page to the
right show the schools that were rated Strong or Excelling in the 2012–13
and 2016–17 school years. The bottom two maps show the schools that were
rated Developing, Emerging, or Incomplete in the same school years.
These maps highlight the positive change that has happened over time.
Far more schools throughout the district are rated Strong and Excelling
this year than was the case in the first year of reporting. At the same time,
the maps highlight the fact that there are still gains to be made in the goal
of providing students in all parts of the city with access to an excellent
arts education. The map on the bottom right corner of the page makes
clear that the majority of Developing and Emerging schools are located
on the South and West sides of the city, as was the case in the first year
of reporting.
