Please feel free to post results to share. Applicants may be offered one Selective Enrollment ES offer (if applicable) and one Choice offer. Their neighborhood school is always available for them to attend at any time.
Comment below about your child’s magnet, magnet cluster or open enrollment offers. Good luck!

Anyone know how to navigate a choice offer we like, and a reasonably high SEES waitlist? I have a #2 and a #12 but am wondering how to stay on that waitlist while not losing the choice offer.

IIRC, if you accept a choice offer you can still be on the waitlist for a test-in school but you do need to manually add yourself back to the waitlists after May 2nd.
Don’t quote me on that.

Here is information on the Rolling Waitlist process: https://www.cps.edu/gocps/elementary-school/results/rolling-waitlist/
For choice programs, your student will remain on a waitlist for any program ranked higher than the one they were offered. Waitlists move until January and waitlist numbers can go up or down depending on priority categories (i.e. siblings for Choice programs are higher priority than unaffiliated students). -
Hi! Trying to understand and navigate this years results. I believe this year 24/25 it’s new in the fact that we ranked our choice and magnet schools and therefore if received an offer, were not put on the wait-list for schools below. Is that correct?
My daughter got into Hawthorne for K which is so exciting but then we couldn’t see any wait-list numbers at any other school. I’m 98% sure we are accepting our offer, but if we didn’t, do we go to the bottom of the wait-list at all the schools?
She has an older brother we have been trying to get in for the last 3-4 years. He was waitlisted this year. So the following year if my daughter was in Hawthorne, would my son go to the top of the list? Hawthorne does have sibling preference.
