2015–16 LIST OF HIGH SCHOOLS AND CERTIFICATION CATEGORIES The CPS Creative Schools Certification is a quantitative examination of the resources dedicated to arts education in each Chicago public school that was launched in 2012–13. The High School Certification takes into account the levels of staffing, discipline and depth (Art I, II, III etc), as well as criteria such as budgeting and community partnerships. Because high schools have graduation requirements in the arts, minutes of weekly arts instruction are not tracked. Each school’s Arts Liaison reports data specific to his/her school annually, and that information is then vetted against additional data sources including District budget files and partner data. The following details the arts resources at each CPS High School as they existed in the 2015–16 school year. Schools are listed in alphabetical order by their common name, underneath which is their formal school name. Schools that did not complete the Creative Schools Survey are listed below as having “Incomplete Data.” In a small number of cases, schools in this category may have shared some data, but because their Surveys remained incomplete, the veracity of these data could not be verified. Therefore, these schools are listed as having incomplete data across all of the CSC criteria.
