First time CPS applicant for my current K (will be applying for Grade 1). I am currently ranking Choice schools, and I see that schools that Edison, Bell, Skinner, etc are available to rank, but I thought these schools required testing and are not eligible for lottery admission? Am I missing something? Also planning to apply to these schools via the testing process, but confused whether these schools have both a general curriculum that can be attended via lottery and a separate curriculum only via SEES?

Those are neighborhood schools that follow regular CPS program that also have specialized gifted or classical classes within it (requires the testing to get it).

This list may help. If the school has “Classical” or “Regional Gifted Center” in its name, it is self contained, meaning there should not be other programs at the same school you can rank via Choice (which don’t need testing). The one exception on the list I’m seeing is Skinner North, that is self contained but its name doesn’t indicate that. Skinner West has both classical and neighborhood programs. Edison is a self contained RGC, so surprised that is a choice to rank via the Choice process.

Edison Park is a school on the Choice application.

Ah, good call, that is probably what it is.
