Which neighborhood school is my address assigned to?
Chicago has one school district, so the question isn’t which district you’re in — it’s which neighborhood school your address is assigned to, and how it’s rated. Each shape is a CPS attendance boundary; switch between elementary, middle, and high, and search your address to see the school it’s zoned to at every level.
How to read this map
Each shape is a CPS attendance boundary — the neighborhood school an address is zoned to at that level. Its color is the school’s rating: by default the culture & climate measure (the University of Chicago 5Essentials survey of how well-organized a school is for improvement), on a green scale where darker green is stronger. Switch the rating to test attainment to see how students score — but attainment is published for high schools only (it’s SAT-based), so elementary and middle schools read as “not rated” there. A gray boundary is a school with no rating on file.
This map covers neighborhood-assignment schools only. Selective-enrollment, magnet, and charter schools admit from across the city and have no attendance boundary, so they are not shown — the map answers “what’s my zoned school,” not “every school I could apply to.” Not every address has a separate middle-school boundary: many CPS elementary schools serve kindergarten through eighth grade, so an address may show an elementary and a high school but no middle school.
Two vintages are in play, and we state both: the attendance boundaries are for the 2025–26 school year, while the ratings are the 2024–25 School Progress Reports — a one-year offset. CPS did not publish a student-growth rating for 2024–25, so this map uses culture/climate and attainment; it does not show growth. Source: City of Chicago / Chicago Public Schools open data.
