The CPS Creative Schools Certification is a quantitative examination, launched
in 2012–13, of the resources dedicated to arts education in each Chicago public
school. The High School Certification takes into account each school’s level of
staffing, number of arts disciplines in which courses were offered and depth
of coursework available in those disciplines (e.g. Art I, II, III), 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 their school
annually, and that information is then vetted against additional data sources,
including district budget files and partner data.
