5Essentials - the latest survey in detail

Math Instruction, Student-Teacher Trust, and Reflective Dialogue are rated above the CPS average; School Safety, Inquiry-Based Science Instruction, and Teacher Influence are rated below it this year.

From the 2026 CPS 5Essentials survey (25-26). Scores are benchmarked 1–99 (not percentages) - higher is stronger, and each is shown against the CPS average that same year. This is a newer survey on a different benchmark than the component levels above, so the two aren’t directly comparable.
