THE ARTS IN CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The overall scores for the staffing component of the CSC are shown in the
graphic below, broken down by elementary and high schools across all five
years the survey has been conducted. This staffing component reflects
both the total number of arts instructors in a school and that school’s arts-
teacher-to-student ratio. 15 In 2016–17, 64 percent of reporting elementary
schools were rated as Excelling in the staffing component of the CSC. This
share is slightly down after four years of continued increase. Consistent
with previous years, 90 percent of high schools were rated as Excelling.
