School Choice

Catalyst Chicago issue cover, published Nov 2008

At the heart of Renaissance 2010 is the belief that families and students should have a range of good educational options in their communities. But the neediest neighborhoods are still lagging behind, and a Catalyst analysis finds that a surprising number of black students are fleeing one low-performing school only to land at another one. The district’s free-for-all system for applying to schools makes it harder for families to make good choices.

About Chicago Reporter

Founded on the heels of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, The Chicago Reporter confronts racial and economic inequality, using the power of investigative journalism. Our mission is national but grounded in Chicago, one of the most segregated cities in the nation and a bellwether for urban policies.
