UChicago 5Essentials, spring 2026 survey, verified 2026-09-23. Each score runs from 1 to 99 and is compared with spring 2024 results; the level uses the survey site’s own bands (Neutral is 40 to 59, Strong 60 to 79). These are not percentages. A school can answer mostly positively and still score below typical.

5Essentials - the latest survey in detail

School Commitment, Parent Influence on Decision Making in Schools, and Teacher Safety are rated above the CPS average; English Instruction and Rigorous Study Habits 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. The levels above come from this same survey.
