- Climate survey
- 5Essentials survey results (UChicago)scores there are benchmarked 1–99 levels, not percentages
5Essentials - the latest survey in detail
Student Responsibility, Inquiry-Based Science Instruction, and Parent Involvement in School are rated above the CPS average; Reflective Dialogue, Rigorous Study Habits, and Academic Personalism 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.
