'Be present': New CPS superintendent urges community effort to improve district performance, ranking
CPS' current graduation rate is around 78%. To improve to two stars, which is still below a satisfactory level, the district would need to increase that rate to at least 84%.
Some individual CPS schools did receive a 5-star rating in some of these areas. However, most schools did not.
"A bit concerned. At the same time optimistic and hopeful," said Kendra Mapp, a CPS parent of three.
Mapp was one of a handful of parents, staff and partners who attended Tuesday's address.
"It is important that we do get the foundation back together so that we are able to excel and move forward," she said.
