Selective Enrollment Admissions Scores Soften As Seats Are Added – But Higher Tier Students Still Feel The Squeeze
Chicago, IL – Average admissions scores declined across the board as nearly 400 seats were added to Selective Enrollment High Schools. Scores fell very slightly at the top schools (Northside, Payton and Young), a bit more noticeably at Jones and Lane and even more elsewhere. The drop in scores at Jones (+140 seats) and Lane (+100 seats) appear to be caused by the larger number of spots offered at both schools. Other schools adding seats included Westinghouse (+95 seats), and Payton (+21 seats) and a new school, South Shore (+165 seats) opened its doors.
