The 5Essentials Reports for Chicago Public Schools are based on the 2025
5Essentials Surveys administered in February and March.
This year, CPS schools will not receive an overall rating due to
a UChicago administrative error: Ambitious Instruction (all schools) and Supportive Environment (elementary, middle and primary schools). However, schools who met the reporting thresholds for the student survey are encouraged to review the available Measure scores within these Essentials, as well as Supplemental Measures.
