My child is test scores eligible for Skinner North (94 math / 92 reading, 4th grade, Tier 1). The school has multiple seats still available in her grade, but CPS will not make any new offers claiming the last round has been done. In their video materials they say that the process will continue until seats are filled. Any suggestions how to appeal the decision? Would hiring education lawyer help?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>How do you know there are still seats available at SN? I heard the school no longer increases class size for 4th grade and above as a result of last year’s CPS teacher strike. Unless there are students leaving, there are no spot open in the class.</p>

A number of students have left

OP, you are not saying which grade your child is in, but everything other than K – tiers do not matter. The scores that you mention while decent on their own are still too low to get into SN. There are a lot of kids with 99/99 on the wait list to SN for grades 1 and above.

I do say that my daughter applied to 4th grade.
I am very well familiar that her this year’s scores are not extremely high, but she still qualifies. Last year she had 99/99 and did not get in because of no space available. This year there are seats, but CPS will not make any additional offers.

We just got an offer yesterday from SN 4th grade, with scores 99/99. I bet there is student leaving.

OP, sorry I did not see you did write 4th grade. The last poster just answered your question: currently offers are made to 99/99 scores for any available seats.

@Irish Flame – can we connect on email or cell? I am having the same issue and I’m told OAE did not do as many rounds this year. My kid is in a RGC with openings that will likely go un-filled and it’s ridiculous considering there are other eligible students.

Also interested in an appeal process

Three SEESs haven’t added grades or classes since 2019. SN’s students have decreased from 523 to 511, Edison 264 > 250, Keller 225 > 218. It’s obvious what’s happening after the strike a year ago. “Open” seats are being eliminated to bring class sizes down to the agreed numbers.
