Climate survey
Unknown - no CPS school ID on record

5Essentials - the latest survey in detail

Innovation, Academic Press, and Collective Responsibility are rated above the CPS average; Student Responsibility, Quality of Student Discussion, and Human & Social Resources in the Community are rated below it this year.

From the 2026 CPS 5Essentials survey (25-26). Scores are benchmarked 1–99 (not percentages) - higher is stronger, and each is shown against the CPS average that same year. This is a newer survey on a different benchmark than the component levels above, so the two aren’t directly comparable.
