Chicago Public Schools students drop in reading, math

Academic proficiency rates decline among Chicago Public Schools 3rd through 8th graders since the militant Caucus of Rank-and-file Educators took over Chicago Teachers Union leadership in 2010.

Academic proficiency measured by CPS students in grades 3-8 scoring 4 or 5 on the ISAT, PARCC or IAR achievement tests, as reported by ISBE. Note: In 2015, Illinois adopted Common Core standards for testing.
