The traditional public education system in Illinois has not adequately prepared all students to live successful lives.
A history of systemic injustice has led to some students being underserved. Since the charter school movement began 20 years ago, charter public schools have proven to be undeniably successful in serving students and communities in need. They also serve comparable rates of students of color, English language learners, and special education students as are served by district-run schools. Because of our continued success, students and families are choosing charter public schools more than ever before.
Today, we serve a record number of families across Illinois. Charter public schools continue to excel in nearly every metric of academic achievement and student outcomes. In Chicago, students who attend charter public schools are more likely to graduate from high school and college.
Eighty percent of students who opt out of their zoned high school attend another district-run school. No matter charter or district-run, all schools are now enrolling students zoned to other schools.
