Selective Enrollment Programs Selective Enrollment High Schools
provide academically advanced students with a challenging and
enriched college preparatory experience. Each of the Selective
Enrollment High Schools offers a rigorous curriculum with mainly
honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The schools strive to
develop students critical and analytical thinking skills, and
promote diverse academic inquiry by bringing together students from
a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Teachers expect
students to be self-driven and highly engaged with their studies.
The schools strive to develop students critical and analytical
thinking skills, and promote diverse academic inquiry by bringing
together students from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
Applicants should learn everything they can about what the
competition is like at each of the Selective Enrollment High
Schools so that realistic and sound decisions are made as to where
to apply. There are 10 Selective Enrollment High Schools: Designed
for academically advanced students Offer primarily honors and AP
courses Highly competitive with minimum eligibility requirements
AND cutoff scores Admissions Testing Required- The exam
(approximately 3 hours long) covers four subject areas: reading
comprehension, vocabulary, language arts (grammar), and math word
problems. Students must score in the 24 th percentile or above in
reading and math to be ELIGIBLE to apply. (Students with an IEP and
students receiving bilingual education services must have
percentiles in reading and math that equal 48 or more).

Applying and Selection for Selective Enrollment Programs Apply
to up to SIX schools ONLINE or PAPER through OAE (Selective
Enrollment/Military Academies Application) If the student is
applying online, they will schedule the test first and THEN apply.
OAE will schedule the test date/site for you if you apply online
The Selective Enrollment High Schools selection process is based on
a point system, with a maximum of 900 points. The final point score
balances the admissions exam results with standardized test scores
and final classroom grades. The score consists of: The admissions
exam (300 points) NWEA MAP results (300 points) 7th grade reading,
math, science and social studies cumulative grades (300 points) The
selection process for Selective Enrollment High Schools also takes
socio-economic characteristics into consideration. Each street
address falls within one of four tiers. These tiers are used as
part of the selection process. First 30% of seats at each school
are filled by rank score ONLY (students who received the highest
scores). Remaining seats are divided equally among the four tiers.
The top-scoring students in each tier are selected. NO sibling
preference. NO consideration for proximity.
Slide 6
Detailed Explanation of Selection for SE Schools Students will
receive an offer from the highest-ranked school on their
application for which they qualify. For example, if your child
applies to Lane (1 st ), Northside (2 nd ), King (3 rd ), and
Lindblom (4 th ). After the selective enrollment exam, your child
receives a total score based on 7 th grade cumulative grades, NWEA
scores and Selective Enrollment Exam. All students are first ranked
in order of their composite scores, from the highest to lowest. The
selection process starts with the top-scoring student and proceeds
down the list. This is based on their total score out of 900. When
they reach your child's score on the list, the selection process
will begin for them. They look at your first choice (Lane), to see
if your child scored high enough (based on the cutoff score),
either by pure rank or within their census tract Tier, to qualify
for a seat a Lane. If your child's score is high enough to qualify
for a seat at Lane, they will receive an offer from Lane and the
selection process ends for your child at that point, and they
proceed to the next student on the ranked list. If, on the other
hand, all seats at Lane have already been filled by higher-scoring
students, they will then go to your childs second choice to see if
she scored high enough, either by pure rank or within their census
tier, to qualify for a seat at Northside. If they scored high
enough to qualify for a seat, she will receive an offer from
Northside and the selection process for your child ends there. If
they did not score high enough to receive an offer from Northside,
we then go to her third choice, and so on. This process continues
until your child receives an offer or until their school choice
list is exhausted. If your childs list is exhausted, we move on the
next student on this list. This means your child was NOT selected
for any of their choices. Note- the order your child ranks their
school does not give them an advantage of getting in

Slide 12
Magnet High Schools Magnet high schools offer one or more
specialty programs, such as fine and performing arts, or
agricultural sciences. With the exception of Curie, magnet high
schools do not have an attendance boundary. Students are selected
through a computerized lottery; students must pre-qualify for
inclusion in the lottery based on scores from the NWEA MAP.
Eligibility Requirements Students must pre-qualify to participate
in the selection process for magnet schools and programs, based on
their 7 th grade NWEA MAP. With the exception of Von Steuben
(scholars program only) students must score at the 24 th percentile
or above in NWEA reading and math. (Students with an IEP and
students receiving bilingual education services must have
percentiles in reading and math that equal 48 or more). The Von
Steuben Scholars program requires minimum 60 th percentile in both
reading and math. In addition, applicants must submit teacher
recommendations and an essay. Eligible students are selected based
on test scores, GPA, teacher recommendations, and an essay. Magnet

Application through OAE. Only one magnet school/program has a
required admission screening SENN- an audition/portfolio review is
required in order for students to be considered for the fine and
performing arts program If applicants to Senn are applying online,
schedule the audition/review first and THEN apply. If applicants to
Senn submit a paper application, the parent will be contacted by
Senn regarding the date, time, and location for the
audition/review. SELECTION PROCESS For most Magnet High Schools and
Programs, students are randomly selected through a computerized
lottery. Siblings are accepted first, then proximity, then general
tiered lottery. There are two exceptions: Senn Fine Arts Program
and Von Steuben Scholars Program The selection process for most
magnet schools takes socio-economic characteristics into
consideration. Each street address falls within one of four tiers.
These tiers are used as part of the selection process (see Tier
information slides for details) After available seats are filled
through sibling, proximity and general lottery, non-selected
students are placed on waitlists. Waitlists are managed by the
school

Slide 15
Tier Information used for Selection How Tiers Are Created Every
Chicago address falls within a specific census tract. We look at
five socio-economic characteristics for each census tract: (1)
median family income, (2) percentage of single-parent households,
(3) percentage of households where English is not the first
language, (4) percentage of homes occupied by the homeowner, and
(5) level of adult education attainment. We also look at a sixth
characteristic, the achievement scores from attendance area schools
in each census tract. Based on the results of each of these six
areas, each census tract is given a specific score; these scores
are ranked and divided into four groups or tiers -- each consisting
of approximately the same number of school-age children. This is
how we establish the four tiers. Consequently, every Chicago
address falls into one of the four tiers, based on the
characteristics mentioned above. How Tiers are Used for Selections
Magnet Schools The first seats are offered to applicants who are
siblings of students who are currently enrolled 40% of the
remaining seats go to students within 1.5 miles of the school The
remaining seats are distributed evenly among the four tiers, and
the seats are filled by computerized lottery. Selective Enrollment
Schools For the entry grade level for Selective Enrollment High
Schools and programs, the first 30% of available seats are filled
strictly according to the student scores also referred to as the
rank score the seats are filled by the top-scoring students. The
remaining seats are equally distributed among the four tiers and
are filled by the highest-scoring students in each tier. There is
no sibling or proximity consideration for these schools.
Slide 16
How to determine your Tier You can calculate your tier by
following the steps below: 1. Go to the U.S. census website-
http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/searchresults.xhtml?ref=addr&refresh
=t 2. Enter your address and click 'go.' 3. Scroll down to the
table entitled "Geography Results." Under the column "Geography
Name," look in the sixth row for your census tract number, followed
by the county and state. 4. Write down that census tract number (it
will probably be 1502 or 1503, depending on your address within
Portage Park neighborhood) 5. Then go to
http://www.cpsoae.org/Census%20Tract%20--
%20Tier%20Information_2015-2016.pdf and find your census tract
number which will have the Tier next to it that you are in. For
additional details on how the tiers are determined, and how they
are used in the selection process, see the High School Guide or
www.cpsoae.orgunder NEWS.

Military Programs The Military Academies offer a unique high
school option for highly motivated students, providing an
academically rigorous curriculum with a focus on leadership and
citizenship. Students study in a safe and supportive school
environment that allows them to reach their full potential. The
Academies' primary goal is to prepare students to attend the
four-year college or university of their choice. By allowing them
to develop as leaders, the Military Model prepares students for
successful careers and a life of active citizenship. Each academy
focuses on a specific branch of the military. The experienced
teaching staff at each Military Academy is joined by a small team
of retired military personnel who are branch-certified instructors,
and who help to foster student success. The Military Academies also
offer unique extracurricular trips, activities, and academic
opportunities for students. The Military Academies are unique
four-year high schools that prepare students for college and
subsequent careers. Although students wear uniforms and operate in
a unique environment, these schools are not intended to prepare
students for the military. Rather, students are given unprecedented
leadership opportunities, co-curricular activities including
college trips and citywide competitions, and ultimately a
nurturing, safe, and healthy environment in which they can realize
their full potential both as students and as citizens. There are
SIX Military Academies: Offer rigorous and relevant college
preparatory curriculum. Each academy focuses on a different branch
of the military. There is no expectation for students to enter the
military after graduation. Specific opportunities are provided for
leadership, teamwork, and service. Rickover- 5900 N Glenwood Ave

students will sign a Commitment Agreement, complete a Motivation
and Perseverance Assessment and write a brief essay.
Slide 27
Selection Process for Military Programs Selections will be
based on a point system with a maximum of 500 points derived from:
Seventh grade final (cumulative) grades (100 points) NWEA MAP
scores (100 points) The two-part assessment Motivation (100 points)
Perseverance Assessment (100 points) The essay (100 points). After
the seats at each school are filled, the non-selected students will
remain in an applicant pool. This is not a traditional waiting
list, where students are assigned numbers students are ranked in
the applicant pool by score. If your child declines an offer or
does not receive an offer, he remains in the applicant pool and has
a chance to receive an offer in a later selection round for schools
that still have seats remaining. No sibling preference or
consideration for applicants to schools that require testing or
interviews.

Slide 39
Other Options- Small High Schools With no more than 500
students in a high school, small schools foster environments in
which parents, teachers, and students get to know one another well.
Educational programs focus on: environmental studies, service
learning, technology, peace, entrepreneurship, leadership,
international studies, the arts, construction and Socratic
dialogue. Overview Smaller numbers of students, a more intimate and
personalized learning environment, and a cohesive vision among
teachers characterize small schools. Small schools are a vehicle
for teachers, students, parents and other school community members
to implement strategies that they know will benefit the students.
Small size alone does not make small schools successful. Instead,
the small size serves as a platform on which other important
elements of successful schools can best flourish. For example, the
manageable size of a small school allows the faculty to meet
frequently to discuss the day-to-day operations of the school, as
well as to design curriculum, discuss student progress and meet
with parents and community members. Teachers with a shared
pedagogical or thematic vision choose to work together to design
the school's educational program. ALCOTT College Prep High School

High School Fair- Tuesday, October 21, 2014 from 5:30pm-7:30pm at
Solomon School- 6206 N Hamlin Ave. Several different high school
representatives will be in attendance to provide important
information about their programs (bus transportation provided by
Portage Park PAC). You must submit an Orange form if you are taking
the bus. Sign up times available to meet with Ms. Karsten
(information to follow) Open computer lab times can be available
after school if interested (information to follow) Proxy form-
gives permission for Ms. Karsten to help your child apply online
for you (form located in High School Information folder) Ms.
Karsten strongly encourages students to apply to as many programs
as possible. It DOES NOT impact your chances of getting into to a
school by applying to several different programs. It is better to
have too many offers than not enough. If you get offers from
different schools/programs, you will be able to choose which one
you want to attend. However, if you do not get an offer from the
school(s) of your choice and did not apply to other programs by the
deadline, it will be too late to apply to other programs and your
options will be limited.
