Cutoff history
What it took to receive an initial offer here in each cycle CPS has published - by tier for Selective Enrollment, and on the citywide points line for points-based Choice programs. History is context - it can’t predict a future cutoff.
| Cycle | Rank min | Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 | Tier 4 | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-27 | 182.5 | 160 | 162.5 | 172.5 | 172.5 | CPS-published · verified Jul 2026 |
| 2025-26 | 192.5 | 152.5 | 177.5 | 182.5 | 182.5 | CPS-published · verified Jul 2026 |
| 2024-25 | 200 | 172.5 | 152.5 | 152.5 | 152.5 | CPS-published · verified Jul 2026 |
Minimum point totals from CPS’s published initial offers - waitlist movement can lower what it actually took, and cutoffs move year to year. Within the current-test cycles above, a tier’s minimum has shifted by as much as 30 points from one cycle to the next - treat any single year as a snapshot, not a target.
