Summary

Chicago Collegiate Charter School is a public charter high school serving grades 5-12 in the Chicago Public Schools District 299, with 252 students. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom quartile of Illinois high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Chicago Collegiate Charter School significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 21.9% of students proficient or better in ELA and 6.2% in math, compared to 42.8% and 27.3% for the district, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has been declining, from 87.7% in 2023-2024 to 78.4% in 2024-2025, which is lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 77.7% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Brooks College Prep Academy High School, Chicago Collegiate Charter School generally performs worse on academic metrics. Despite the school's poor performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $31,322 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district average. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the need for a closer examination of the school's spending priorities.
