the arts in CPS / arts assets in schools
activities is notable given the increased staffing levels described above and the higher numbers of
arts instructors working in high schools versus elementary schools in particular.
Only 11 (two percent) of the 580 reporting schools’ categories dropped due to their arts assets scores.
Of these schools, three dropped from Excelling to Strong; three schools dropped from Strong to
Developing; and five schools dropped from Developing to Emerging. These results demonstrate that
Creative Schools Certification categories are predominantly determined by how schools perform on
the staffing ratio, instructional minutes (elementary schools only), access (elementary schools only),
and disciplines and depth (high schools only) criteria.
