Chicago Public Schools are failing Hispanic students

Chicago’s future depends in large part upon the success of today’s Hispanic students. Hispanics make up almost half of Chicago Public Schools’ enrollment and they’re the city’s fastest growing demographic.

But the city’s school system is failing them. Only 17 of every 100 Hispanic students can read at grade level. And just 12 of every 100 are proficient in math.

Instead of addressing this crisis, union, district and state officials are covering up CPS’ failures with policies, data and “accountability standards” that create a façade of success. We are told Chicago’s children are learning even though most graduate from the system without the skills they need.
